A stellar masterpiece signed by the legendary Grand Master Mohammad Dabir Al Sanaye. It is a very beautiful design with an elaborate merhab niche standing on two elegant columns. The motifs around the field are delicately rendered in the typical Dabir style. Pay special attention to the cypress trees, the beautiful vases, the wispy floral sprays. A true masterpiece and terrifically collectible. Full pile throughout. Buttery Manchester Kork wool and superbly saturated natural dyes.
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

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
“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 🇦🇺
