A perennial favorite, the combination of the attractive and much loved Harshang pattern along with the boisterously vivid Kurdish natural dyes make this Sauj Bulagh very desirable and rewarding.
The quality of the wool is unsurpassed: glossy, shiny and remarkably soft. The colors are of excellent quality too, and are very tastefully matched.
The famous Harshang motifs, notably the 'flaming' lotus palmette, are on proud display here. They are beautifully balanced and confidently drawn, signs of an early provenance. It seems the rug was a special commission and, thus, of higher quality that surviving counterparts due to the signature cartouche. It contains the phrase ๐๐ค๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ and the year 1223, signifying this was a Nowruz new year's gift ("may the new year 1223 be blessed")-- along with a name that alas is hard to decipher.
Highly collectible.
I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
