Story

This qalamcar textile was made during the reign of Nasser al Din Shah Qajar and was one of a pair. We sold the companion piece to the Musee Quai Branly Jacques Chirac in Paris. It depicts a battle scene from one of the mythological narratives in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh poem. This makes it quite an unusual and entertaining object.

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.

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
