One of two Seirafian rugs produced around 1980 by the Isfahan's most famous weaving dynasty and that remained in "time capsule" condition. They were acquired by a German collector who kept them rolled and stored for over 40 years. Upon his passing I acquired them from his widow. Mint condition, immaculately preserved, old but still in brand new shape. Exquisite finesse and attractive variation of the ๐ง๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ท ๐๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ถ pattern with its perfect biaxial symmetry.
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
