A superlative and really old Isfahan with a mesmerizing rendition of the timeless theme of the Four Seasons. We see the progression from warm bottom to icy top across a stunning burgundy red backdrop on which beautiful natural and floral forms shine through in shimmering silk. The crisp yellow and soothing blue tonalities of some silk highlights are a work of wonder. The seasons are framed by an undulating Eslimi sequence of spiraling arabesques against a turquoise background. The weaver was possessed on unnatural talent and good taste. Perfect condition.
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
