Story

All the king's horses, all the king's men, all are silk woven!

From the royal ateliers of Qajar Tehran, a spectacular hunting carpet woven with lush silk highlights. The theme goes back to miniature paintings of the Timurid 15th and Safavid 16th centuries. Very few hunting scene carpets were woven in the Qajar period. The design came into widespread use in the late 20th century, making this historic example a highly collectible piece. Perfect condition, full pile, plus it's the second largest one we have ever seen (and have!). The ruby field combines with the rare emerald green border for a spectacular effect. This artwork on its own will turn any elegant home into a palatial mansion.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

 

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 🇱🇧

 

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!
