Story

An excellent example of nomadic art from the mid 1800s. This is a complete and intact bedding bag (called ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ) which would be placed with the central section on the ground within a tent, and tied alongside each side of a horse, donkey or camel during migration. Its purpose was to store the various bedding items of a nomadic household: pillows, mattresses, covers etc. It is quite rare to find ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ bags in such perfect condition and usually they appear in disjointed fragments. They are excellent examples fo functional weaving art.

This attractive example is radiant with its gorgeous natural dyes. Woven in sumakh technique (all in one piece on one loom at one time) with the central section in kilim.

What our customers say!

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
