Grand Master Asghar Rasouli has been one of the most accomplished carpet designers in Isfahan for over a half century. He provides patterns and style to other producers but only weaves a carpet in his own name and under his own supervision once every 5 years or so. This is the best of the lot. A unique creation that is simply the best contemporary Isfahan I've seen in my lifetime that did not come from the hands of the Seirafian dynasty or Master Shahapoor. Pure magic. The twisted symmetry is intoxicating. Great dramatic effect is created by the contrast between the oversized garlands and the miniature flowers opposing them. So much silk..
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait 🇰🇼
