Silk base Isfahan rugs, among all Persian carpets, were the mark of taste of prestige as of the 1930s onwards--including pure silk pieces. They were on a higher par than the Tabriz, Kashan and Kerman rugs of the day and have retained this aura to the present. This carpet shares the quintessential style of these old school Isfahans with its central medallion floating on a beige field surrounded by a red border. It has come to be timeless and universal. A fantastic example of type.
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

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
