Museum quality historical masterpiece with provenance and history inscribed in the formidable signature cartouche. One of a half dozen in different designs commissioned in the 1890s by Sultan Abdul Hamid IIโs government for the Ottoman Pavilion at the landmark Paris World Expo. A comparable prayer rug from the same exclusive royal order was formerly in the collection of the Ottoman businessman Calouste Gulbenkian and currently is on display at the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
This is the first of the 6 to become available on the market for way over a century. Took me 4 years to finally acquire this 125 year old turquoise belle. When it was made the USA ๐บ๐ธ was only 124 years old and Istanbul was still officially called Constantinople.

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
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 dealerโs 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.

โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
