How happy is this bundle of joy? It's a very high class example from a small group of tribal rugs woven in Neyriz, an oasis town where an electric admixture of Khamseh and Afshar clans intermingled. This lent an eclectic and frankly unique look to its rare weavings of which this is among the best I have ever seen. The natural dyes are outrageously delightful, with a heavy Afshar influence. The border pattern is entirely Khamseh with its rich undulations of floral forms. The Tree Of Life is imposing and dominates the scene with its thick bark. We see peacocks 🦚 blue lotuses, camels 🐪 and Zilli Sultan style flowering vases 🌺 Lucky is the collector who will upgrade their home with this!
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
