The more I look at it the more I realize how pleasant and beaming this pretty carpet is. It is of Shah Abbas design, with bulbous lotus palmettes sprawling symmetrically and elegantly across its yellow tinted field. The base colors combine magnificently with the serene turquoise blue of the border to create an unforgettable effect which is of remarkable functionality in various types and styles of interiors. Combine that with the size and condition and we have a winner on all counts.
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
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
