It is said that in the late 19th century some carpet weavers migrated from Senneh northwards to Tabriz in search of better work opportunities. The rugs they wove utilized the single weft technique of their original hometown, so the resultant (and very rare) carpets they made in Tabriz were called 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘩 𝘉𝘢𝘧 meaning Senneh-weave.
This is a very decorative pair with attractive properties. Functionally speaking, for purposes of interior decor, the 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘩 size is unusual and much demanded. The pattern is all over and ideally suited for contemporary interiors given the absence of difficult central medallion elements. The color scheme is neutral and a happy match to various ranges of furnishing color palettes. In collectibility ratings, the rugs stand out for being a pair of such a rare type, with all over design, an absence of medallions and strong reds, and for being in such glorious shape.
Perfect condition, top quality.
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 🇰🇼
Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait 🇰🇼
J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier !
