Story

Qajar opulence from the royal workshops of Tehran in the late 19th century. This masterpiece boasts all silk flowers and a dense field with majestic motifs. The allover design is known as Shah Abbasi and contains remarkable richness of detail in its palmettes and arabesques 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 deep blue 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. This is one of the finest carpets from that bygone age and has been perfectly preserved.

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 🇸🇦

 

 

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 🇭🇰

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia 🇱🇻
