Story

This dream is a real collector's gem. The Mostowfi pattern or spiralling arabesque vines with bouquets of flowers usually appears on Farahan or Mahal carpets, albeit dryly rendered. When it pops up on Bijar rugs it transforms into a higher level of consciousness. Invariably Mostowfi Bijars are gigantic in size, much like the related Garrus design. This masterpiece is remarkable for being in the very rare ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ-๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ size (7.5 x 5 feet roughly) and for having ivory as its background color of choice rather than the ubiquitous indigo. This allows the green leaves and red flowers to sparkle and come to life. The excellence of wool and the finesse of weave are mighty impressive. It is perhaps the best small Bijar I have had the pleasure to offer my clients.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
