One of two sky blue Qajar Tehran masterpieces with Paradise Park design, this impressive artwork stands out for the soft texture, awesome dyes and exotic landscape.
A majestic Tree of Life rises amidst a Garden of Eden with an alluring array of lions, leopards, peacocks, ducks, elephants, crocodiles, snakes and dragons.. and a bushy tailed phoenix at the top. All against a mesmerising sky blue backdrop. The thinness of the fringes gives you an idea how finely woven it is. A masterwork from the royal Qajar looms.
“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 🇸🇦
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
