The Millefleurs group of Tehran rugs, locally known as Haj Khanomi, is perhaps the most recognizable and legendary group of Tehran carpets woven in the Qajar period, with the finest materials and richest patterns. This handsome masterpiece presents an incredibly dense field with a flowering vase and a cornucopia of floral delights all rising up to the apex of the mihrab niche. The natural dye materials are harmonious and attractive, complimenting the mosaic style geometric ornamentation. Perfect condition and collectible. A very similar item formerly in the royal Qajar collection at the Golestan Palace is currently on display at the Carpet Museum of Iran.
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

“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 🇸🇦
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
