Story

Grand Master Safa Zadeh of Kashan & the eternal charm of the architectural prayer rug

I just love how the mehrab architectural niche incorporates design ornaments from what would usually be the central medallion of a Safa Zadeh Kashan. Sublime, unadulterated, pure genius.

Please observe and admire the various artistic elements in the architecture (columns, lantern, vase) and the naturalistic motifs (flowers, shrubs, flowers). How stupefyingly gorgeous are they?

NB/PS actual Persian urban workshop prayer carpets are pretty rare. There are many mehrab patterns, very few of which actually have real prayer design or usage.

Safa Zadeh is arguably the most accomplished Kashani artist, Dabir aside, of the Reza Shah period (1925-1941),

Super perfect condition

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

 

Jโ€™ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prรฉparation de lโ€™exposition ยซ Lโ€™Empire des roses, chefs-dโ€™ล“uvre de lโ€™art persan du 19รจme siรจcle ยป qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et ร  laquelle il a participรฉ par le prรชt de tapis exceptionnels. Jโ€™avais alors รฉtรฉ impressionnรฉe par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquรฉ le dรฉbut dโ€™une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musรฉe du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes sโ€™enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains nโ€™ont pas leur รฉquivalent dans les musรฉes occidentaux. Ce que jโ€™apprรฉcie chez Hadi ? Cโ€™est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et lโ€™engouement quโ€™il a pour son mรฉtier !
