One of two sky blue Qajar Tehran masterpieces with Paradise Park design in our exclusive collection, this impressive artwork stands out for the soft texture, awesome dyes and exotic landscape.
A slender Tree of Life rises amidst a Garden of Eden with an alluring array Birds Of Paradise amidst the lush greenery, all against a mesmerising sky blue backdrop. This pattern is one of the most famous that are avidly sought by collectors and originally were made to hang in the royal palaces. A masterwork from the royal Qajar looms.
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

“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
