Story

In the forest .. a mighty Bakhtiari tribal rug rises.
This is a delightful and beautiful carpet with a fantastic rendition of the 18th century Bid Majnun (Weeping Willow) design, named after the drooping willow tree under which Majnun Layla sat and wept for his beloved. Legend has it that the tree wept too, hence the name.

Please refer to Chapter 5 of my book 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗲𝘁: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝟭𝟳𝟮𝟮-𝟭𝟴𝟳𝟮 for the history and development of this famous pattern.

This particular carpet brings out the best and strongest features of the group. Utterly magnificent natural dyes spread over a sparkling range of vibrant colors + a dense, rich forest with a panoply of trees including willows, cherry blossoms, and cypresses.

Perfect condition, full pile, original fringes.

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

 

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 🇭🇰
