Story

A royal Qajar masterpiece signed “The work of Ostad Ali Akbar Kermani, 1297 (1878).”

عمل استاد علي اكبر كرماني ١٢٩٧

This is a museum grade collectible antique artwork, from a very exclusive group of carpets woven for the Qajar dynasty in the 3rd quarter of the XIX century and influenced by imperial French art and styles from the court of Napoleon III. This is my most recent acquisition and fewer than 10 signed pieces by eminent Kerman masters exist. I lent a few to the Louvre Museum in France in 2018 for the landmark exhibition L’Empire Des Roses 🌹 which focused on royal Qajar art of the 1800s. The present masterpiece is as good as any in that catalog.

What our customers say!

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier !

“You 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 🇦🇺

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.
