This group of antique rugs has come to be the one most cherished among dedicated carpet collectors and connoisseurs in recent years. My last 20 years of research into 18th century carpets has revealed this Kurdish district to have been one of the most influential among all weaving communities in Asia. The standout features of this group, which this gorgeous example amply demonstrates, include chunky hand-spun wool and the most awesome natural dyes in the whole wide world. It is for reasons such as this that the reputation of Kurdish dye masters is so elevated.
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
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
