Insanely fine, captivatingly rich, endlessly endearing. This looks like a fine Kork Kashan but is in fact a tremendous artwork produced in Qazvin in north Persia using similar colors and styles. The quality of the ultra soft Kork baby lambswool is like a puffy cloud come to life.
The pattern is dense but not crowded, elegant and classic but not dΓ©ja vΓΉ. The combination of saturated indigo and burgundy is an all time classic. The medallion is not a rehashed or repeated shape but is its own unique thing. The flowers will speak for themselves.
Perfect condition, perfect drawing, perfect balance.
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. π¬π§
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
