Grand Master Abbas Mansouri of Isfahan has only created two pairs with this Birds of Paradise theme, in this size and color scheme. The last was sold in 2003... He's retired now so there will be none more like these.
The flocks of swooping birds create a very dramatic effect--indeed there are so many birds and beasts in each carpet that each time I have a look I discover something new. Wool and silk highlights throughout, all on a pure silk basis.
Utterly magnificent. I don't usually buy this type of new Isfahan but the pedigree, the detailing, the coloration, the size, the fact that it's a pair with all the above.. made the acquisition automatic!
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇸🇦
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
