This mighty impressive carpet is a sight to behold. It is of Shah Abbas design, with crenellated lotus palmettes and scrolling cloud bands sprawling symmetrically and elegantly across its rich red field. The impact is amplified with the shimmering silk of all the major field elements. The base colors combine magnificently with the serene sky blue of the border to create an unforgettable effect which is of remarkable functionality in various types and styles of interiors. The pile is very lush and the absence of a central medallion allows for an endless array of tasteful decorative possibilities. Combine that with the size and condition and we have a winner on all counts.
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
“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 🇱🇧
