A very elegant antique Khorasan woven with a fine Dorokhsh handle and softer wool than usuals. The color palette veers more towards soft blues than the usual reds. The handsome vases alternate with weeping willow trees on an ivory ground, all framed by a richly ornate border. At the top we see the signature of the master artist Mohammad Karim Kermani, suggesting that this Dorokhsh was created by a weaver who had migrated north from Kerman.
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 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 🇱🇧
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
