Story

Quasi circular old Hereke silk that’s actually a complex polygon with 16 vortexes!

Everyone else thought it was a circle but in fact it’s a multi-lobed Hexadecagonβ€” can you even imagine how difficult it is to weave that by hand? Euclid is smiling down at us from across time and space!

And then there’s the Phoenix πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯ Bird iconography. This sure ain’t your average silk Hereke. This is more special than most.

Funny thing is that I got this as change for a bigger deal I made. Now I have it, I realize it’s worth more than I suspected. It’s also signed by the artist Aynur, well known back in the day for this celebrated β€˜star’ shaped carpets 🌟

33 cm diameter (for diametrically opposed vertices, 8 star points apart)
Circa 1970
Perfect condition

What our customers say!

You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon πŸ‡±πŸ‡§

 

 

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

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
