Story

One of the finest Kashan carpets to ever grace our collection and also one of the best to ever live. The quality of the Kork baby lambswool is exquisite, as are the sweet natural dyes (please ask for closeups if interested to buy). Aesthetically speaking, the Shah Abbas all over pattern of lotus flowers and arabesque palmettes is more intricately rewarding than the "classical" more common types seen in the 1930s and 1940s.

The carpet is rare for a number of reasons:
- this particular creamy shade of ivory, marking a transition from the Mohtasham school of the 19th century. By the 1920s dark indigo blue was the dominant color in Kashan weavings.
- the somewhat squarish size
- the elaborate detailing and layout of the Shah Abbas
- the distinguished provenance of the piece, in a leading German collection since the 1960s with documentation.
- utterly perfect condition

What our customers say!

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‡§

 

 

β€œYou don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

 

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‡·
