An important and very early Gol o Bolbol carpet signed by the legend Sadegh Seirafian, the most illustrious of masters of the 20th century. This pattern is acknowledged to be one of the most difficult to create on a carpet, hence one of the rarest to find. The dexterity of weave and finesse of weave are sublime, all adding to the wow factor that is a Sadegh Seirafian Gol o Bolbol. Wool with profuse silk highlights on an all silk foundation. Perfect condition.
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
