Story

A rare portrait of the last Qajar Shah woven in Tabriz. He is still young so the rug was seemingly woven early on in his reign (1909-1925). It was probably based on a photograph taken in Tehran and sent to the workshop in Tabriz.

He seems to be enthroned in his royal palace at Niavaran, namely in the annex named after him whose construction he oversaw. The royal red background is striking.

The poshti size is rare and the quality of wool and weave quite unusually high grade for Tabriz in the Qajar period.

What our customers say!

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de l’exposition Β« L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ  laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mΓ©tier ! Hana Chidiac, Curator of the Middle East Department at the Musee Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

 

 

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 πŸ‡±πŸ‡§

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»
