Story

The legendary master weaver was, along with Mulla Mohammad Hasan Mohtasham, the single most important carpet artist of the 19th century. He is credited with introducing the Gol Farang rose bouquet design to Persian carpets (this being a stellar example) and was the personal weaver to Nassereddine Shah Qajar during the 1860s thru to the 1880s. Ostad Hossein designed and wove remarkably large and beautiful carpets for the Shah. A brilliant small one survived in the Golestan Palace and was moved in 1977 to the Carpet Museum of Iran.

This harmonious rug is flowery delight. In a sense it is a bouquet of roses itself. The senses of color, poise, scale and balance are mature and confident, tasteful and pretty. The Grand Master's famous signature crowns the composition in the upper border, along with a date. Using such dated examples I was able, in my PhD thesis, to trace the trajectory and development of his style.

What our customers say!

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. 🇬🇧

 

 

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

 

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 🇰🇼
