Ziegler's & Co of Manchester started producing carpets in Sultanabad in 1872, catering to the Victorian British market and its tastes while preserving age old Persian styles. The fusion of both was a winner and today authentic Ziegler rugs are very hard to come by--and equally desirable. Green dye is very difficult to achieve, adding to the collectibility appeal of this Ziegler carpet. Its decorative charm and pleasant aesthetic ensure it is a worthy addition to any collection.
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 🇱🇧
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 🇭🇰
