Perfection of harmony & symmetry presented in a mould of beauty, courtesy of the Ahmadi weaving school of Isfahan at the turn of the 20th century.
I donβt usually buy these classical medallion rugs but my clients always deserve the best of the best. This artwork has wool closer to the Manchester Kork of Kashan and Mohtasham than the dryer Isfahan yarn of the early 1900s. The dye materials stand out too: I love the juxtaposition of the sky blue, radiant red and camel hair. The latter is partially oxidised leading to a pleasingly attractive effect.
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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
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 π±π§
