Extremely rare small rug with silk field and silk foundation, from the hand of the legendary Grand Master Haj Mohammad Seirafian.
A sister rug, identical but with red field, is published in his famous landmark book ππ¦πͺπ³π’π§πͺπ’π― ππ’π³π±π¦π΅π΄, page 23. This confirms the authenticity and provenance of this singular carpet (which we also undertook directly with his son and grandsons who certified it).
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!
