Story

Meet the latest and greatest Seirafian creation.

My friend Farzad Seirafian has woven me a very special masterpiece. The Safavid princess lived in the time of Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1629) and was painted by his court artist Reza Abbasi, the most talented Persian painter of all time.

After over 400 years on paper, in 2024 she came to life on a super high quality Seirafian carpet woven in Isfahan. All natural dyes, very high knotting density, and inspirational beauty. The stark plain field allows the portrait to shine while the architectural element at top right breaks the traditional rigid symmetry of composition.

My favourite element is the wonderfully calligraphic poetry verse that balances the triangular structure:

ΨΉΨ΄Ω‚Ψͺ Ψ±Ψ³Ψ― Ψ¨Ω‡ فرياد

Taken from Ghazal (Sonnet) 94 of the immortal Hafez, it loosely translates as β€œLoving you rose to a scream!” Or β€œyour love becomes a scream!” It is an outpouring of wild, unconfined love that takes over the lover’s whole being. The verse is gracefully traced out here by the talented artist Saba Golbaz, with heartfelt thanks.

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

 

 

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 πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
