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!

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

 

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

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
