The silk wefted rugs woven by the Kashkuli clan are considered to be the finest and most desirable of all tribal carpet. They invariably come in so-called ghaliche size, averaging just under 2 meters in length. It is highly uncommon to see khorjin saddlebags being woven in this technique. This pair is one of only two such part silk Qashqai bags I have seen. Extremely fine to the touch, it makes you wonder whether they were purely ceremonial or whether they ever made it onto the back of a mule or a horse!
“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 🇸🇦
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 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
