I find it amazing that a nomadic weaver decided to buy silk at great cost from a faraway market and use it for the wefts of these matching bag faces. Why? The only possible reason was that she wanted to create the mother of all saddlebags with the highest possible finesse. So either a challenge or she was commissioned to weave them for an individual of some importance, like a Khan of the tribe. I know of no other bag faces woven with silk wefts so this pair is unique and as collectible as they come!
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
