This tribal bag is an intimate item with an inscription that runs in two ways. The date reads as 1917. A sumakh woven flap extends from the kilim back and curls around to cover the mouth of the bag where lappets are waiting to lock it up. Turkmen bags usually have an open mouth, making this quite unusual. Very finely woven and entirely perfect.
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

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
