The finesse of drawing and the quality of natural dyes in this outrageously beautiful Kerman masterpiece are beyond compare. I absolutely and totally love it. The Shah & Prince 👑 are as realistic as any Qajar painting while the background architecture and animals imbue the carpet with vivid charm. And the colors!
Just back from its first spa since the XIX Century! Commissioned & signed by the famous duo Milani & Shoar. It seems to depict Mohammad Shah Qajar (1834-1848), being the only Qajar ruler with a short beard.
“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 🇸🇦
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 🇭🇰
