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.
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 🇱🇧
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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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
