Story

Tribal palatial museum vibes. An aristocratic Shekarlu clan XXL carpet woven for the royal court. It is inscribed
ุฌู„ูˆุณ ู…ุธูุฑ ุงู„ุฏูŠู† ุดุงู‡

Meaning, the ascension to the throne of the 5th Qajar Shah. It is furthermore dated 1313 Hijri lunar (1896, the actual start of his reign).

All this alone makes it a very significant historical document and of museum qualityโ€” keep in mind that the vast majority of nomads were illiterate, and could not create paintings or write letters. They could only create carpets and related artefacts. But there are other reasons too.

It is one of the largest Qashqai rugs youโ€™ll see and definitely the largest Shekarlu I have ever seen. Even more, it is filled with a dizzying array of nomadic motifs and symbols. I could spend an evening counting the camels alone. And then there is the impressive diversity of trees: cherry blossoms, oaks, and even palm trees ๐ŸŒด

I canโ€™t think of another rug that has even one of these features. Enjoy โ˜บ๏ธ

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

 

 

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
