A unique accidental masterpiece of 19th century Qajar art. An unbelievably beautiful and visually gripping rug sampler from the high class looks of old Kerman. Massive in size for a vagireh too. The only Kerman vagireh I have ever seen and it is a monster!
I flipped the image 90 degrees so you can enjoy it on your phone screens. The videos and closeups do more justice, please email me for further info. The color palette is really really sweet and soothing. I hope you enjoy it.
The border is complete, which is crazy. We see approximately 15-20% of the field design in full.
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
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§
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
