Style Prayer Rug
Material Wool & Silk
Origin Kashan
Size 203 x 140
Age 1920
One of the awesomest pairs of antique Kashan carpets we have seen and handled.
They survive intact, in utterly perfect condition.
The weave is superfine, with high knot count.
Silk is profusely used within the twin carpets, the ๐จ๐ฐ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฃ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ฎ mixing of yarns being exceedingly rare.
The choice of natural dyes is stunning, especially the sky blue and the emerald green. How about the succulent indigo blue of the field and the unbelievable red of the border?
Design wise, there is so much greatness going on. The rich field of each rug has multiple flowering vases, their blossoms spiraling out into dense, complex arabesque spirals. A sumptuous ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ crowns each carpet but beneath each we see sublime Phoenix ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐จ๐ฉ birds fusing into the ๐๐ด๐ญ๐ช๐ฎ๐ช vinery.
We and you will not be finding this quality of art easily. Easily best of type and highly collectible.
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
โI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
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
