Story

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) ๐Ÿคด 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.

What our customers say!

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!

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

 

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
