This is the first and only Seirafian rug Iโve seen where the designerโs name is explicitly knotted within the design. Grand Master Bahadoriโs name is inscribed 4๏ธโฃ times, next to each of the 4๏ธโฃ corner elements. It speaks a lot about the respect Haj Sadegh had for Bahadori, and the latterโs reputation, that he included his name 4๏ธโฃ fantastic times.
The corner spandrels each contain the hidden form of a gorgeous blue butterfly. Can you see it? Isnโt it amazing? The border contains further happy surprises, in the guise of multitudes of chirping birds.
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
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!
