This is a sweet small example of the legendary Millefleurs group of Tehran carpets woven in the Qajar period with the finest materials and richest patterns. It approaches Zaronim size and presents an incredible dense field with a flowering vase and a cornucopia of floral delights all rising up to the apex of the mihrab niche. The unusual proportions suggest this was a commissioned piece, as do the uncommonly wide range of colors. The greens stand out as does the cream main border. The knot count is significantly high for an antique wool rug. A superb collector's item.
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

“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 🇦🇺
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
