Story

This is one of the oldest Isfahan carpets around, from the school of Shoreshi who, along with Agha Ahmad (see elsewhere on this website), was the foremost carpet artist in the city in the period 1890-1910. The age of the carpet is reflected in its uncommon pre-1920 proportions which fit in more with Qajar era interior architecture. It is woven on a silk foundation making it incredibly supple and soft to the touch. The allover pattern is a variant of the Shah Abbas design but not the same one that later appeared on many Isfahan carpets post 1950. It has more in common with the lattice vinery carpets of the Vase-type carpets of Kerman of the 1600s. A unique find and a great looker for any elegant interiors.

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait 🇰🇼
