Welcome to the next level. This is the smallest yet finest carpet signed by Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanayeh that I have seen. Tout a fait extraordinaire!
Carpets bearing his (authentic) signature are extremely important and collectible, marking a turning point in Persian carpet design. This is the mother of all landscape carpets, perfect and immaculate condition. A wide tree lined avenue twists through a forest in front of a regal mansion and on to a domed pavilion at the foot of snowcapped mountains. All under a crisp azure sky. Sheer elegance, utter perfection.
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 🇭🇰
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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
