Story

This attractive Ushak depicts the Mausoleum of Jalal Al Din Rumi in Konya. Known as Mawlana, he is the most famous Sufi teacher and the best selling poet in the world today. The Economist Magazine voted him as the most important person of the millennium in 2000. His Mevelvi brotherhood or order is still headquartered in Konya and tens of thousands flock there every year to visit. This Ottoman carpet is a faithful representation of the shrine, its facade and minarets, right down to the marble tiles and wooden carvings. Just do a Google image search and you'll find out!

What our customers say!

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸

 

 

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

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.
