Story

The famous scene of the star-crossed romanic couple is legendary among aficionados of medieval Persian poetry and painting. On his way to Armenia, the Sassanian King Khosrow spots the princess Shirin skinny dipping in a stream .. so he hides and peeps. The scene was copied in the 19th century in detail on Persian rugs. This is a simpler, cruder yet more endearing copy woven in a household in Saruk. The essential elements of the story are all there plus a beaming Khorshid Khanom sun-face.

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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 🇱🇧

 

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!
