Story

A very sweetly attractive antique Kerman depicting the last of the Qajar monarchs, the boy king Ahmad Shah. He stands by his throne as a dervish (Noor Ali Shah?) approaches.

The inscription above says:

وارث تاج نگين خسروان احمد شاه

"Ahmad Shah, the heir to the precious crown of the Khosrows" i.e. the ancient pre-Islamic Shahanshahs of Persia, thereby giving him a continuity that is over 2,500 years old.

Perfect condition.

What our customers say!

“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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 🇱🇧
