Story

This is an invaluable historical document, portraying as it does Reza Khan during his brief tenure as Minister of War prior to acceding to the throne as Reza Shah Pahlavi.

(this being his ceremonial title, roughly meaning "Blessed Commander-in-Chief")

The rug has a medal-like layout with the heraldic coat of arms of the Qajar dynasty all round him. Note the distinctively 19th century style ๐’๐ก๐ข๐ซ ๐จ ๐Š๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ (lion and sun) emblem. Reza Khan's cap is still that of the Cossack legion he commanded and not yet the royal crown for which he became famous.

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

 

 

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

 

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.
