Uniqueness comes in many ways.
This is the only extant Seirafian whereby the designerโs name is signed in addition to the producer. Its occurrence 4 times reveals the deep respect and affection that Grand Master Sadegh had for this renowned artist.
This isnโt a standard medallion design. Bahadori presented Sadegh with something far lovelier than the repeated Seirafian Toranj-Eslimi pattern.
He placed a gorgeous ๐ฆ in each corner and an entire flock of lovebirds ๐ฆ in the border. The medallion itself is a marvellous sunburst โ๏ธ surrounded by mature ๐ชท lotus flowers ๐บ Absolutely magical โจ
The coloration is sweet and attractive, very harmonious and subtle. Earth tones dominate the ground and border but a very subtle turquoise blue brings everything together and everything to life ๐

โI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐ฌ๐ง
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
