This is a rare room size carpet commissioned by a Khan or tribal chieftain of the Azeri nomads in the Sarab district. Woven elegantly with fine camel hair, this is a prized and rare achievement of tribal art. A bare handful of these survive in such perfect condition. The plain outer border is matched by the earthy or Khaki wide silhouette around the medallion. We see ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ด๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ type motifs in the corner section. Amazing.
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
โI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
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
