This is a rare instance of an authentic first-generation Tudeshk from the hands of the legendary Grand Master Sadeghi. He was one of the first to establish carpet weaving workshops in Tudeshk and Nain following the sudden demise of the 'abaya trade. His carpets are renowned for their tremendous beauty, all-time classic appeal, and extraordinary finesse. These factors shine across in this magnificent example. The quality of the natural dyes is absolutely majestic, with a brilliant sky blue and an attractive shade of red that would become a signature tone for Tudeshk rugs. FYI the Habibian brothers, who established their own workshops in Nain circa 1960, apprenticed in Salehi's atelier.
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼
