Story

A very sweet Zarcharak size figural rug from the famous Seirafian dynasty of Isfahan. Two princes sit in a pleasure garden, wearing the distinctive 16th century Safavid caps, reading wine and reciting poetry. The whole composition is influenced by 15th century Timurid miniature painting styles and recreates the idealized life of pleasure and enjoyment.

Above the Mehrab we see a couplet of poetry from the legendary 13th century poet Hafez. It is taken from his Ghazal number 127:

روشني طلعت تو ماه ندارد
پيش تو گل رونق گياه ندارد

The moon does not have the radiance of your beam
The flower does not have any scent compared to you.

Sublime. Timeless. Brilliant.

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

 

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

 

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 🇭🇰
