Published by Herrmann in ππ¦ππ΅π¦π―π¦ ππ³πͺπ¦π―π΅π΅π¦π±π±πͺπ€π©π¦ ππ in 1982, this is one of the all time Bakhshayesh greats. It dates to the early 19th century and is a unique artwork for various reasons:
1. The saffron yellow tonality.
2. The πππ§π¨πππ£π design, one of the most vibrant and collectible styles of the 18th century.
3. The exciting range of vegetable dyes, including various shades of blue, pink and green.
4. The all wool foundation.
5. The uncommon size.

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait π°πΌ
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!

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
