Story

Palatial and graceful, this oversized antique Malayer is a rare thing indeed if only for its size and all over pattern. It boasts esteemed provenance, having lain in the CEO's office at the renowned German construction firm π˜½π™„π™‡π™π™„π™‰π™‚π™€π™ π˜Όπ™‰π˜Ώ π˜½π™€π™π™‚π™€π™ for much of its existence.

The dimensions are ideal and the aesthetics highly decorative. It is generously proportioned, being substantially wide and easier to use than the narrow π˜’π˜¦π˜­π˜­π˜¦π˜© format carpets. The lattice theme harkens back to the important 18th century carpets discussed in my book π™π™π™š π™‹π™šπ™§π™¨π™žπ™–π™£ π˜Ύπ™–π™§π™₯π™šπ™©: π™π™π™š π™π™€π™§π™œπ™€π™©π™©π™šπ™£ π™”π™šπ™–π™§π™¨ 1722-1872. As such this carpet is older than most Malayers around, closer to the earlier decades of the 19th century than others.

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de l’exposition Β« L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ  laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mΓ©tier ! Hana Chidiac, Curator of the Middle East Department at the Musee Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
