Even among the most formidable creations from the royal looms of Tehran, this woven garden is a delight on a higher level. Perfectly preserved, it is a wondrous sight to behold. The lush woodlands and forests, the dense foliage of the trees and the flowers, the allure of the natural world on majestic display.. in a mesmerizing color combination that creates a beautiful dreamscape. The pastel tonality is truly alluring and attractive. Bazar elders with inherited memories say that this carpet depicts the capital city back in the days of Qajar glory, with its imposing mansions laid out amidst lush manicured gardens.

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼
