Story

Very very of these Pardeh doorway rugs survive. Almost all of the ones I've seen belong to the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. Otherwise they would have graced the doorways of royal Qajar palaces. This carpet would have hung from its upper section in place of a door, so that visitors to the princely court would pass within its flaps prior to being greeted by the Shah or Shahzadeh. This would have kept the separation of public and private space clear and regulated the distinction between royals and commoners. One of three in our private collection, it stands out for the remarkable extra section at the top which would have been draped backwards along the ledge it hung down from. The carpet bears a number of pictorial cartouches depicting romantic couples from Persian mythology: Khosrow & Shirine, Homa & Homayoun, Leila & Majnoun. A museum piece, something on another level entirely!

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

“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 🇸🇦

 

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
