This dreamy Persian carpet answers the time old question succinctly: why are Seirafian rugs considered to be the best to be made in the mid to late 20th century?
This timeless classic boasts an unusual and attractive camel-honey tone. The famous Seirafian Eslimi pattern is in full bloom here, perfectly poised and elegantly executed. The knot count is quite high too. Silk foundation and silk flowers throughout.
Grand Master Mojtaba is the son of the legendary Grand Master Mohamamd Seirafian, himself the son of the founder of the weaving dynasty, Haj Reza.
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 🇰🇼
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
