Tehran pairs are extremely rare. These gorgeous rugs have a Senneh inspired Gol Farang border and a Saraband style field of boteh flowers. Across both we see profuse silk highlights than dance and sparkle under the light. The saffron color was notoriously difficult and expensive to achieve for 19th century weavers. Very tasteful, rare and attractive pair.
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.

“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 🇦🇺
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
