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!

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong πŸ‡­πŸ‡°

 

 

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

 

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‡§
