Story

Gabbehs like this have become fashionable and appealing in recent years. These peculiar tribal rugs are thought to have been woven by Arab clans residing in the Jiroft area near the Persian Gulf. There are no dyes used here, just a clever and skillful manipulation of natural undyed wool of both white and black sheep 🐑 varieties. Various geometric accents are in play while leaving a blank open space in the center-top. Perhaps intended as a prayer rug?

Unusual square size and very appealing, decorative earthy tones.

What our customers say!

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prĂ©paration de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’Ɠuvre de l’art persan du 19Ăšme siĂšcle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Ă  laquelle il a participĂ© par le prĂȘt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Ă©tĂ© impressionnĂ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquĂ© le dĂ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musĂ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Ă©quivalent dans les musĂ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprĂ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mĂ©tier !

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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
