A very elegant antique Khorasan woven with a fine Dorokhsh handle and softer wool than usuals. The color palette veers more towards soft blues than the usual reds. The handsome vases alternate with weeping willow trees on an ivory ground, all framed by a richly ornate border. At the top we see the signature of the master artist Mohammad Karim Kermani, suggesting that this Dorokhsh was created by a weaver who had migrated north from Kerman.
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 🇱🇧
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 🇺🇸
