Story

Pairs of tribal rugs are very few and far between. This is the only Afshar pair I have come across and I love it. What makes them more unique is the fact that they are a mirror pair, meaning when placed alongside each other the pattern is reflected as if by a lake or a mirror πŸͺž

The quality of natural dyes is amazing, especially when you focus on the center and corners. The midnight blue field frames a flowering vase with 𝘎𝘰𝘭 𝘰 π˜‰π˜°π˜­π˜£π˜°π˜­ iconography. A melodious nightingale is perched among colorful flowers of various delightful hues. The attention to detail and skill of execution is impressive, especially when you realize there is no symmetry in the flower bouquet.

To be sold as a pair.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

 

 

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. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

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
