Story

XXL supercharged palatial carpet, designed and signed by the most eminent of all Qajar carpet weavers, Ostad Hossein Kermani. He was handpicked by Nassereddine Shahe Qajar in the 1860s to produce custom designed carpets for the Shah, the Qajar court, and the renovated Golestan Palace in Tehran. The present masterpiece seems to be one of those made for the palace and fits in perfectly with the 2 other surviving examples that are similar. It bears a beautiful and pristine rendition of the soon-to-be-famous ๐—š๐—ผ๐—น ๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด theme of brilliant blossoming rose flowers, for whose creation and adoption in Persian carpet art Hossein Kermani was solely responsible. It is very hard to attribute a design to one artist, especially prior to the mid 1900s, but in this case he left a hefty trail of evidence behind him.

Museum Grade.

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร  laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !

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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s 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 ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
