This is the most eclectic and unforgettable of all the signed Dabir carpets I have. It, more than all others, shows how terrifically talented and tasteful he was. A great open field of endless flowers stretches out, endless and boundless. The border has even more of the same, adding to the overpowering effect of irresistible beauty. The quality of the Manchester Kork lambswool is like velvet. At the very top of this relatively large carpet is the artist's humble signature: Mohammad Dabir Al Sanayeh - Kashan.
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
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
