Multiculturalism in late Romanov Caucasia is summarized in this unusually large Borchalu which is dated in both Christian and Islamic calendars, 1902 and 1320 respectively. The typically fiery red is complemented by beautiful greens and blues. 12 rows of 3 Guns each tile the field, with charming tribal motifs here and there. Dogs 🐩 girls 👯♀️ stars ✨ and abstract shapes and symbols. The border is equally complex--this just isn't your textbook Caucasian!
“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 🇦🇺
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
