The best qualities of Kerman Ravar weaving are on show here, in this attractive pictorial masterpiece. High knotting density and a gorgeous Millefleurs backdrop offer a dramatic foundation for the pictorial Omar Khayyam scene in the middle.
Beautiful colors, with the much loved Kerman greens and sky blues that are not that easy to find, and a fine weave combine for a highly successful artwork. The finesse of craftsmanship is evident in the razor thin warps at each end, with full kilim component and lush, long fringes dangling out.
Perfect condition, signed and dated by the master artist
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 π±π»
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 π±π§
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
