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..
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇦🇺
