One of two sky blue Qajar Tehran masterpieces with Paradise Park design, this impressive artwork stands out for the soft texture, awesome dyes and exotic landscape.
A majestic Tree of Life rises amidst a Garden of Eden with an alluring array of lions, leopards, peacocks, ducks, elephants, crocodiles, snakes and dragons.. and a bushy tailed phoenix at the top. All against a mesmerising sky blue backdrop. The thinness of the fringes gives you an idea how finely woven it is. A masterwork from the royal Qajar looms.
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 🇰🇼
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 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 🇱🇧
