Abstract tribal art at its most evocative.
Heriz area weaving at its most beautiful.
Antique rug art at its most evocative.
It took me years to be able to acquire this fascinating Vagireh sampler from a house in the Heriz district itself. It finally happened during an Ashura reception, surprisingly. The visual is more Sci-Fi than folkloric craft, more space age than traditional rug. The abstraction is married to ferociously high quality vegetable dyes, including an astonishing green and a pleasing sky blue. The main tone, surprisingly and deliciously, is undyed wool of natural tonality.
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
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
“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 🇦🇺
