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.
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

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
