Story

Comrades, for our Armenian friends all around the world, we present you with another unique historical artwork. A brilliant antique Serapi Heriz emblazoned with the heraldic symbols of the ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐——๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—›๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜†.

It is dated 1887 (Julian or Gregorian).
The party name is inscribed as follows:

Social (bottom)
Democratic (right)
Hunchak (above ๐Ÿ””)
Party (left)

The SDHP is the oldest Armenian political party in the world; also the oldest/first socialist party to be active in the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and Persia (Iran). It was founded in Geneva and the takes its name from the Armenian word for โ€˜bellโ€™ (signifying national awakening). Despite its political ideology it openly retains a clear cut Armenian identity by virtue of the religious cross emblazoned in the center between the hammer and the sickle.

This is a very important document for Armenian history and Near Eastern political history. The weave is very refined. I am quite impressed the SDHP commissioned a Serapi Heriz workshop to create this!

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ

 

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
