Grand Master Abbas Mansouri of Isfahan has only created two pairs with this Birds of Paradise theme, in this size and color scheme. The last was sold in 2003... He's retired now so there will be none more like these.
The flocks of swooping birds create a very dramatic effect--indeed there are so many birds and beasts in each carpet that each time I have a look I discover something new. Wool and silk highlights throughout, all on a pure silk basis.
Utterly magnificent. I don't usually buy this type of new Isfahan but the pedigree, the detailing, the coloration, the size, the fact that it's a pair with all the above.. made the acquisition automatic!
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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
