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!

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

 

“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

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!
