Size 207 x 138
Age 1930
Rich, lush, and beautiful, this magnificent pair of identical Kashan beauties from the 1930's is in perfect condition. The materials (fibers and dyes) are excellent and the drawing is very confident and rewarding. Such pairs, when perfectly preserved, have always been the cornerstone of private collections in the Middle East and beyond. Especially when the colors are so radiant and the design is directional and not medallion-centered.
“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 🇦🇺
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 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
