The finest quality of Mishan Malayer that was woven in the 19th century with the highest knot count. Such rugs were destined for the mansions of the wealthy elite in the Qajar period and were kept as family heirlooms. This explains how this masterpiece managed to survive in such perfect shape.
The handsome cartouche border frames an elegant field with an eye-catching large medallion and swirling vines. Superb coloration.

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 🇱🇧
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
