Sublime. Splendid. Scintillating. Special.
One of the finest works we've had from the most celebrated Persian master weaver of the second half of the 20th century. The pattern is very intricate and detailed, quite hard to achieve, thereby requiring a high knot count and ultra fine thin foundation to achieve that. The style is called honeycomb after the tiny compartments that tile the field and also the border. Really attractive earthy tones.
PS I also have the vagireh rug sampler on which this was based!
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
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 🇰🇼
