Story

A real early Serapi, grand and dignified. The size is majestic and frankly unusual for such an early piece.

The age comes across in the rustic weave, the choice and excellence of the dye materials, the archaic border and the simple field decoration.

We can detect the weaver's skill and ambition in the multiple reds on display. Very subtle yet suavely smooth. The border is a pinkish, somewhat cherry red that may have an insect dye component. The corner spandrels are saturated madder red, verging on burgundy. The medallion is a more tomato red, lighter in tone.

The central indigo is radiant and utterly magnificent. All other blues are turquoise. What skill to balance such an interplay of ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ.

What our customers say!

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร  laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, 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
