Story

I find it amazing that a nomadic weaver decided to buy silk at great cost from a faraway market and use it for the wefts of these matching bag faces. Why? The only possible reason was that she wanted to create the mother of all saddlebags with the highest possible finesse. So either a challenge or she was commissioned to weave them for an individual of some importance, like a Khan of the tribe. I know of no other bag faces woven with silk wefts so this pair is unique and as collectible as they come!

What our customers say!

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier !
