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
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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 ππ°
