The single most beautiful Kashan I have ever seen. I have had older, larger, finer even (maybe?). But nothing compares to this. Please welcome the Magnificent Seven:
1. That most desirable of sizes, not too small and not too big.
2. Materials: does anything beat a Kashan with lush silk highlights?
3. The directional design, a Garden of Eden topped with an elegant mihrab--unique for this scale.
4. The landscape roundel at the center. A window into Narnia?
5. The cartouche border and its elegant spacing. The grace of the corner solutions. Ooh la la la.
6. The weave: extra fine with high knot density.
7. The perfection of condition. Word.
“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
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
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
