Story

The most distinctive of all Qajar carpets are those woven in the palace workshops of Tehran in the famous Millefleurs or ๐˜๐˜ข๐˜ซ ๐˜’๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช style. Derived from 17th century Mughal Indian masterpieces woven at the court of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb, they gained popularity at the court of Nassereddine Shah Qajar in the 1800s. Their rich directional designs are full of breathtaking floral forms, a thousand and one blossoms coming together to give the pattern its name. The common elements across all Millefleurs carpets are the symbolic ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ prayer niche and the ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ vase. Further aesthetic power is yielded by the use of attractive green dyes, a feature rarely seen on other 19th century carpets.

Here, we see all the above. Except doubled.
Here, we have twin Millefleurs rugs. Beauty raised to a higher power.

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ

 

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

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
