Story

It is indeed a wonderful world when you stumble across such startling masterpieces of folk art and cultural resonance.

This is the largest Malayer I have ever seen. It is also the most ambitious 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐑𝐞𝐫 & 𝐂𝐑𝐒π₯𝐝 or 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐑 carpet I have seen. The scale is gigantic really. A mighty Lion 🦁 and Sun 🌞 element proudly stands at each corner of the field. This is the ancient 𝐒𝐑𝐒𝐫 𝐨 𝐊𝐑𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐑𝐒𝐝, the emblem of Persian royalty and kingship. Which confirms this carpet was commissioned for a royal palace.

It survives in perfect condition and has a most attractive border of calligraphy in π™‰π™–π™¨π™©π™–π™‘π™žπ™¦ Persian poetry. In the lower border we read that the carpet was commissioned on the occasion of 𝐄𝐒𝐝 𝐀π₯ π†π‘πšππ’π«, a very important occasion for Shia Iranians. The upper border tells us this was in the Hijri year 1318 (1899 CE).

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό

 

 

You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon πŸ‡±πŸ‡§
