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.
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
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

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
