Mishan quality Malayers invariably and always come in caliche size. 12 sqm Malayers are incredibly rare and mostly of coarser quality. So to find a 12 meter Malayer of Mishan weave is unbelievable!
The softness and tactile plushness are seductive to the hand. The range of dye materials is extensive and superb. The border is breathtaking in its ivory tones and purple highlights. The design is as fine as you would expect with such a high knot count and excellent materials.

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
