This Gol Farang stunner is more generously proportioned than most Caucasian rugs, making it quite rare. What makes it special is that it survives in glorious condition and we actually know who made it and when. It is signed in Armenian by its weaver at the top and the Gregorian date 1905 is mentioned. Flowery Caucasian carpets of this size were commissioned and made for the Imperial Russian court and aristocracy of St. Petersburg and for the Russian governors of the Caucasus based in Tbilisi.
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇭🇰
