This pure silk antique Kashan is one of my favorite carpets. You probably saw one of its closeup images posted on my social media. Here is the full image posted for the first time. It is a marvel in all senses.Silk on silk, the materials are of the highest order and technically the weave is very fine indeed. Design wise, the artist created a ravishingly perfect balance between the rich ornamentation of the medallion (how elegantly drawn) and the breathtaking negative space of the open blue field. The navy blue tones draw you in and you feel sinking deeper and deeper in. One of the finest and definitely the most beautiful silk Kashan you or I will ever see. Absolutely mint condition with full pile, all original fringes, no breaking and no humidity.
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
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 dealerβs 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.

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 π°πΌ
