Frankly, a very Royal Qajar Carpet.
Woven with the finest, softest, shiniest Manchester Kork wool, spun in the Victorian textile mills of Great Britain and imported at great cost to Persia where it was intended to be used for formal abayas and turbans. Instead, the skilled entrepreneurs of Kashan put it to good use in their carpets.
The royal dynasty's coat of arms is proudly displayed beneath the glittering crown: no jewels, entirely in wool!
Full pile, original ends
Woven with love in Kashan circa 1890
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
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
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
