Royal Qajar Carpet Art is what I do for a professional & academic living. This pair of Saruk Farahan bears a European inspired design with a laurel wreath reminiscent of Ancient Rome, topped with a Persian crown signifying royal provenance.
Tal’at Al Saltaneh was the ceremonial title given to Princess Showkat Khanom شوکت خانم the daughter of Bahram Mirza Qajar, Mo’ez Al Dowleh, who in turn was the son of Abbas Mirza Qajar, Nayeb Al Saltaneh, eldest son and heir designate to Fath Ali Shah. Our Princess here was the direct first cousin of Nassereddine Shah and the niece of Mohammad Shah, a princess of the blood royal through the main line of descent of the founding Qajar kings.
J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier !

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
