An eye catcher. A superbly funky and attractive tribal rug with outstanding and outrageous natural dyes. The bright yellow medallion is a show stopper. But so are the blues, plums and reds of the tribal clutter all around it, meaning the sporadic assortment of motifs and symbols thrown around the left and right sides.
“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 🇦🇺
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
