Story

A noble Qajar dynasty masterpiece with one of the most remarkable renditions of the Millefleurs (Haj Khanomi) pattern: flowering vase, bowls of fruit, and 1,001 flowers radiating upwards from ground to sky.

The quality is sensational, both of weave and of materials (especially the vivid, vivacious dyes). The size is more generous than usual for a ghaliche. The border with its diagonal stripes imparts additional mesmerizing charm.

The main draws the grand signature by one of the legends of first generation Tehran weaving: Ostad Asghar. The mention of the locale, Tehran, is of extreme importance for establishing the Qajar capital as a major center of carpet weaving.

What our customers say!

“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺

 

 

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 🇱🇧

 

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 🇰🇼
