A breathtaking masterpiece by the most legendary Grand Master ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง. One of the earliest and largest carpets he ever made; also one of the most powerful and beautiful antique Persian carpets on the planet ๐
It seems to be the oldest extant Isfahan rug with the ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐๐ design, inspired by the turquoise tiled domes of the 16/17th century mosques and palaces of the Safavid capital, making it a very important art historical landmark ๐
It is a grandiose and majestic undertaking, reflecting Haj Sadeghโs sheer ambition and terrific dedication to his art. The absolute consistency of detailing and the marvellous perfection of design are imperious ๐
The carpet is built on formidable mathematical foundations. As a student of higher mathematics, I was impressed to discover that the ๐๐จ๐ก๐๐ข๐ spirals are based on the Fibonacci sequence and the resultant arithmetic - geometric spiral๐
One of the most exclusive & rare artworks of pure luxury and supreme artistry.
Perfect condition
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
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
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
