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.

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!

โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs 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 ๐ฆ๐บ
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
