This is the finest and sweetest Tabriz from the atelier of Haj Jalili that I've seen. It evidently is a ππ¦π§π’π³π¦π΄π©πͺ commission due to the unique size and unforgettable design.
The plain ππ’π§ ππ’π₯π¦π© field offers suitable minimalist contrast to the incredible conflagration of animals and birds. The rich medallion is made exponentially richer by the denizens of lovebirds and parrots π¦
The corners are outlined by intertwining serpents π that imprison lions π¦ chasing deer π¦ with further gazelles lining the complex tree avenue border.
Truly more complex and ambitious than any of his other creations, with fine knotting and exquisite Kurdistan rather than Tabrizi wool.
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¦
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
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 π°πΌ
