A theatrically intriguing ivory border framing a midnight blue field of intoxicating dramatic action and colors, with oversized Samavari medals.
An unforgettable, ambitious masterpiece of antique Persian woven art that will make a stunning statement in the right interior.
Malayers rarely come in big sizes. When they do itβs almost always in Kelleh format eg 5 x 2 meters. Not here. This belle has tremendously well calculated architecture and scope, blending beautiful colors with a deep understanding of balance & spacing. The oversized medallions float comfortably in the vast expanse of open field negative space, intermittently punctuated by Gol Farang flower bouquets. The border is fire. And itβs 162 years oldβ or young? Perfect.

You wonβt regret it.
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
Jβai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de lβexposition Β« LβEmpire des roses, chefs-dβΕuvre de lβart persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. Jβavais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but dβune collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sβenrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nβont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que jβapprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? Cβest son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lβengouement quβil a pour son mΓ©tier !
