Story

Utterly magnificent. This carpet has a Farahan weave and pre-dated the Ziegler enterprise which was set up in Sultanabad in 1872. It features a royal Shah Abbas field of all over lotus flowers and leaves.

It has 2 main and very powerful attractions, age apart. One is the imposing size; the other is the formidable border. Not only is it quite wide in proportion to the carpet, but it is presented with an uncommon ivory color that contrasts sharply with the midnight blue field. On top it bears an extremely elegant sequence of calligraphic roundels executed in ultra elaborate Nastaliq script. The gist of this poetry is that the "carpet was created to go under the feet of the Sultans of the world" ie made for a royal audience-- and very fittingly in Sultanabad, the city of Sultans.

What our customers say!

β€œI 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 πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦

 

 

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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

 

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‡·
