A unique collector's item. It's the largest Khorjin or saddle bag that I have seen. It was created for use on a camel's back. Bulky items would have been stored within the two pouches. With minor tears it remains complete in size and function. The back side kilim is dramatic with its arrowhead stripes. As with most Baluch of tremendous age and fineness, the saturated colors are hard to photograph and especially the blues.
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 🇱🇧
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
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
