A truly beautiful and very rare pair of antique Kashans. A very early one too. It is outstanding and unusual for many reasons.
- The creme whitish tones
- The understated ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ prayer niche
- The identically colored spandrels above it
- The soft Manchester Kork wool used by Dabir
- The detailed and rich imagery of the motifs, far finer and more precise than later Kashan pairs of the 1920s and 1930s
โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
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 dealerโs 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.
