Hekmat Nejad Majnouni is the most enigmatic, sought after and famous carpet artist of the last century. He was the favourite carpet weaver for the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (1941-1979) ๐คด much as the Amoghly Bros were for Reza Shah Pahlavi (1925-1941). Ostad Hekmat Nejad was so dedicated to his art that his peers called him 'Majnouni' (lit. crazy!)-- an epithet he proudly adopted. He did not create many carpets, far fewer than any of the individual Seirafian brothers, but he made sure each was as special as it gets. To put it in perspective this is only the 6th HKM I have had in 25 years. His finest moment was when the Shah commissioned some super awesome carpets from him for the 1971 Persepolis commemoration of 2,500 years of Persian kingship.

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealerโs description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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 ๐ฐ๐ผ
โI 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. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
