Age 1860
Prior to the Ziegler led Revival of the 1870s, Farahan was one of the foremost weaving centers in Persia. Leading Qajar dignitaries set up private workshops as side businesses and tapping into the area's superb wool and the locals' natural flair with weaving. This masterpiece in the soon-to-be baptized Zilli Sultan style is an awesome exemplar of that.
Saffron dyed with a remarkable central axis leaving the sides of the field quite vacuous in a most charming way. The border is another tour de force with its sequence of delicately drawn flowering vases. This style was to be termed Zilli Sultan as of the 1880s. Observe the row of tiny booths hugging the border from the edge of the field and wonder at the level of attention, dedication and skill needed to create the two pyramids of color either side of the medallion. This artwork is one of those that makes me proudest to own and is almost impossible to replace.

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
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
