Story

A poshti from the atelier of the legendary Grand Master Mohamamd Dabir Al Sanaye of Kashan. It is not signed but I have seen an exact twin to this that is. The Manchester kork lambswool, the exquisite dye materials, and the fine weave are all in line with Dabir's excellent production. I have handled two dozen of his signed works and this is as good as any.

We see here a Heron bird, crane like with its long neck, bending forwards and around a flailing tree to pluck a rose from the ground. It feels like one of the more accomplished scenes in Safavid miniature painting from the age of Shah Tahmasp. The Heron is symbolic here because the Qajar Shahs of Persia all wore a Heron feather in their turbans and crowns. People mistakenly think it is a peacock feather but it's a Heron in fact.

The bird is framed by a ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ niche supported by two slender columns. The choice of colors is absolute magic as well. Perfect condition.

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
