Story

A very sweet Zarcharak size figural rug from the famous Seirafian dynasty of Isfahan. Two princes sit in a pleasure garden, wearing the distinctive 16th century Safavid caps, reading wine and reciting poetry. The whole composition is influenced by 15th century Timurid miniature painting styles and recreates the idealized life of pleasure and enjoyment.

Above the Mehrab we see a couplet of poetry from the legendary 13th century poet Hafez. It is taken from his Ghazal number 127:

روشني طلعت تو ماه ندارد
پيش تو گل رونق گياه ندارد

The moon does not have the radiance of your beam
The flower does not have any scent compared to you.

Sublime. Timeless. Brilliant.

What our customers say!

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. 🇬🇧

 

 

“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!
