The Zaronim size (5 x 3 feet) is the hardest to find on old Kashan rugs because it was the one they wove least. This automatically qualifies this item as a rather rare piece. What makes it more unique is the presence of a landscape hiding within its medallion which acts like a looking glass or window into a secret world. This is very unusual indeed. The vista of a lush forest and elegant mansion, with exotic greens and blues, is what we would normally find on the fine Kashan poshti landscape rugs and not these larger ones. Well done!
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 🇭🇰
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
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
