Story

For Persian carpet lovers this is pure magic. It is a stellar example from the golden age of 'Manchester' Kashan weaving at the turn of the century when enterprising merchants in Kashan imported finely spun wool from the textile mills of Victorian Britain that was intended for weaving the finest cloaks and robes and instead used it in their carpet workshops. As a result no carpets in the world--apart from the Pashmina wonders of 17th century Mughal India--have a shinier and softer pile than these Manchester Kashan masterpieces.

Most of them obviously are of small size and the vast majority of this limited group are of traditional medallion design. Hence the unbelievable attraction of this room size landscape stunner. The lush woodlands and forests, the dense foliage of the trees and the flowers, the allure of the natural world on majestic display. Factor in the truly unreal color combination of creamy field with pinkish border with dollops of soft blue. As good as it gets, this carpet is.

What our customers say!

“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 🇦🇺

 

 

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 🇭🇰

 

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸
