Story

A remarkable artwork by the legendary Grand Master Aboulghassem (Abu Al Qasim) of Kermani, acclaimed by his peers as the "Master of Masters". His signature remains one of the 3 or 4 most famous and desirable across the entire history of Persian carpets. This example is a stunning example of the so-called "Empire Des Roses" style influenced by the French court of Napoleon III. A field of gol farang roses is centered by a Venetian landscape with gondolas and ducks, with four cameos portraying topless noble ladies. A unique occurrence among Oriental rugs.

What our customers say!

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸

 

 

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 🇭🇰
