Story

Experts on European carpets tell me this is one of 7 or 8 known Ukraine carpets. This European carpet is represents the missing link between French Aubusson carpets of the 18th century and the Karabagh wonders of the late 19th. Woven in the first half of the 1800s in the Ukraine, then within the Russian Empire, this carpet is a firsthand response to French weavings. In turn its style was adopted and copied by the Armenians of Karabagh subsequently when the Russians expanded southwards into Caucasia. The field is really black whereas in Karabagh rugs it is very dark brown, leading me to suspect this was black sheep's wool being used. As unique a carpet as you will get! It was sourced in Kiev and came out of a household where it had been well preserved for generations (centuries!).

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller.

Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺

 

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 🇰🇼
