Be still my beating heart .. โค๏ธ .. Take a deep breath and enjoy the sight of the single sweetest and most splendid Gabbeh rug in the whole wide world! It is impeccable. Perfect. Remarkable.
The weaver, and her supplier (of natural dyes), was a genius craftswoman. She was Michaelangelo and Mondrian rolled into one. A master expert at ultra fine weaving and equally one of the most tasteful color coordinators the world has seen.
The materials are succulent. Gabbehs are traditionally the clunkiest and coarsest of all loom woven rugs. The finesse on show here is incredibly high with an elevated knotting density, all the more stunning for the foundation being 100% wool. One of the pieces I am proudest to own.
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
โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs 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 ๐ฆ๐บ
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!
