A stellar antique Kashan woven in the remarkable 3D technique called Soof Barjasteh, whereby the motifs are embossed and woven in (silk) pile while the background or field is "carved out" in (silk) kilim flat-weave. Usually these rare rugs, if they survive, are small. The size and scale here are uncommon and very impressive. A Paradise Garden of Eden sprawls out with twin Trees of Life and a millefleurs landscape. All in silk! With sparkling natural dyes. Collector's choice.
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 π±π§
