Simply beautiful and outrageously fine.
This is one of the greatest œuvres from the workshop of Grand Master Afsari, active in Kashan in the very early 1900s and the author of a series of landscape and pictorial carpets of the highest quality. The signature pale blue silk selvedges jut out on either side. This horizontal format is greatly desirable for aesthetic reasons and very handy for functional ones. The color combination is sublime. Architecturally, we see a realistic depiction of the imposing mansions of Kashan's rich cloth merchants which actually still survive (e.g. Borujerdi and Tabatabai Mansions).
“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 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 🇸🇦
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
