Royal Qajar Carpet Art is what I do for a professional & academic living. This pair of Saruk Farahan bears a European inspired design with a laurel wreath reminiscent of Ancient Rome, topped with a Persian crown signifying royal provenance.
Tal’at Al Saltaneh was the ceremonial title given to Princess Showkat Khanom شوکت خانم the daughter of Bahram Mirza Qajar, Mo’ez Al Dowleh, who in turn was the son of Abbas Mirza Qajar, Nayeb Al Saltaneh, eldest son and heir designate to Fath Ali Shah. Our Princess here was the direct first cousin of Nassereddine Shah and the niece of Mohammad Shah, a princess of the blood royal through the main line of descent of the founding Qajar kings.
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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. 🇬🇧
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 🇭🇰
