Mythical on every level:
- the gargantuan size and perfection of condition
- the dizzying variety of mythical beasts
- the shocking bestiality on show, animals feeding on one another
- the perplexing complexity of design with so many layers superimposed on one another
- the pictorial border scenes
- the astounding symmetry all across
Topping it all off is the understated signature of Grand Master Haddad, right at the very top, the most eminent of Tabrizi master weavers in the late 19th century.
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 🇱🇧
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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
