Story

One of the all time great camel ๐Ÿซ hair carpets and also one of the truest and oldest Sarab rugs. I simply love it beyond words. The dimensions are highly desirable and perhaps the rarest of all formats on camel hair rugs. It is a very ambitious undertaking as well.

The field is strewn all over with the ancient Cintamani symbol which was the personal emblem of the ferocious warrior king Timur (reigned 1370-1405). It consists of leopard ๐Ÿ† spots with tiger ๐Ÿ… stripes and denotes kingship and heroism. The center of the whole composition is the lion ๐Ÿฆ attacking the deer ๐ŸฆŒ a tradition of animal combat and hunting that goes back thousands of years. They are rendered in small size yet, given the uncanny earthy coloration of the rug, they dominate proceedings.

Top notch collector quality carpet, perfectly preserved.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
