Story

One of the awesomest pairs of antique Kashan carpets we have seen and handled.

They survive intact, in utterly perfect condition.

The weave is superfine, with high knot count.

Silk is profusely used within the twin carpets, the ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ mixing of yarns being exceedingly rare.

The choice of natural dyes is stunning, especially the sky blue and the emerald green. How about the succulent indigo blue of the field and the unbelievable red of the border?

Design wise, there is so much greatness going on. The rich field of each rug has multiple flowering vases, their blossoms spiraling out into dense, complex arabesque spirals. A sumptuous ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ crowns each carpet but beneath each we see sublime Phoenix ๐˜š๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜ฉ birds fusing into the ๐˜Œ๐˜ด๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ช vinery.

We and you will not be finding this quality of art easily. Easily best of type and highly collectible.

I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar

 

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 dealerโ€™s 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.
