Delightful and rewarding, this is a rare collector's set that exudes raw graphic appeal. The size is quite rare for Tehran as is the fact the twins are woven on SAFFRON SILK foundation and fringes. There is a wealth of rich imagery and motifs created with exuberant natural dyes. All manner of animal scenes.
High calibre and extremely rare, if interested please ask for detailed photos.
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
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
