The mighty warrior king is enthroned while his Vizier and ministers of court stand by attentively. A food chain of dragons, fish and birds appears at the bottom perplexingly. I quite like the twin peacocks above the Shah. This style of Kerman pictorial is not the usual one we see in this ghaliche format or larger but that which is usually associated with poshti sized miniature rugs less than a meter long. This carpet is best seen in that light as a natural and uncommon extension of that group.
“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 🇦🇺
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
