How did they do this? It's a guaranteed story favorite to share with friends and visitors. You won't find anything else like this stunning carpet. It depicts a fruit fest with bowls of stacked up pomegranates, apples, oranges, pears and grapes alongside sliced watermelons and flowering vases. What captures the eye are the crenellated borders along the four edges, meant to drip downwards when the rug is placed atop a table. At the left we see the signature of the master weaver Mahmoud Kho'yi and the lunar date 1321, indicating this was the work of the small city of Khoy in the extreme northwest of Persia.
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 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 🇸🇦
