One for the treasure chest. An instant favorite.
This latest find of mine shoots straight into the top of my all time charts. It sure is tiny but boy does it pack a whole lotta punch into its sweet little body.
Farahan Poshti with silk lions π¦ silk horses π silk dogs π silk deer π¦ with long long antlers, and silk lotus πͺ· flowers emanating from a silk lined vase πΊ
Delicious color palette π¨ with a handsome field of undyed, naturally colored wool and a truly electric β‘οΈ electrifying metallic blueβ howβd they dye that?
The best thing is the ultra plush wool quality and extra soft weave. It has incredible age. One of my favourite buys in a long time.

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
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.

βI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
