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.
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 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 🇱🇧
