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!
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸
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 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 🇱🇧
