Jozan is a tiny dusty village remotely nestled in the mountain chain between Farahan and Malayer. It is perplexing how such fine rugs were woven there. Its artisans were the masters of Barjasteh weaving, the art of creating carpets with a 3D clipped pile that gives a stunning carved effect. This is no mean feat and requires terrible sophistication. It is a wonder that this beauty has survived so perfectly to the present day. An allover field of roses covers the field bichromatically, in itself an abstract touch far removed from the common sensibilities of Persian art.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇺🇸
