Specializing in the awesome and unreal! We bring to you an antique Isfahan poshti rug drawn in the layout of a chessboard with 64 black and white squares annotated alphanumerically. Of course, the Persian weaver couldn't resist fashioning a border of foxes chasing rabbits in the forest.
Silk foundation and silk highlights, exceptionally high weave. Perfect & intact condition.
“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 🇦🇺
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

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 🇦🇺
