Story

A historic and lost masterpiece, this is an extremely rare Queen B with the legendary weeping willow design named after the enigmatic tragic hero Majnoun. It is rare for its ghaliche size format. The 4 others of type that are known all have a prayer niche which this does not have but they share the rectilinear curving of the trees and the speckled spandrels in the corner. One may say this is actually a double mehrab prayer rug. The condition is great for its roughly 200 years of age. It arrived the week after my book went to print which is why I didn't manage to include it there.

What our customers say!

“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 🇦🇺

 

 

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

 

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.
