Story

Does what it says on the lid. This is one of the longest camel hair runners we have seen. 10 medallions in a row line the central axis. Decoratively speaking, this is a very useful and handy item for anyone with a large. hallway or long corridor.

For historical reasons this runner is mind-blowing for being one of a handful of known rugs to bear a date in the Shahanshahi calendar. Introduced by the last Shah of Iran in 1976 it was only in use for 3 years before being discarded by the new regime. Its first year, 2535, commemorated that number of years since the founding of the first Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great in 559 BC. Its last year was 2537. This runner was woven in 2536 or 1977/78 and is remarkable for showing how such royal propaganda so quickly permeated rural tribal society.

What our customers say!

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. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

 

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

“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 🇦🇺
