Intact and perfectly preserved, this gorgeous pair of old Tudeshk is the first I have encountered in over 10 years. This quality merchandise has since long left the market and only survives (if at all) in private collections of art lovers. The pair is a testament to the glory of carpet weaving in the early 1900s as well as the refined taste of collectors back then. Coming in an impressive Pardeh size only adds to the rarity.
The Shah Abbas design of all over lotus flowers is brought to life by the pleasant color palette, particularly the brilliant turquoise blue. It reverberates against the creamy field with its beautiful red flowers particularly well. The fringes are all original and still in original length and condition. The weave is particularly fine.
“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 🇦🇺
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
