Woven for the wedding of a couple from the Rouhani and Bakri families, this poshti sized carpet is a special commission with lots of endearing qualities. The knotting is mostly done in fine Kork baby lambswool but with profuse detailing in shiny silk. The signatures at the top indicate the families that commissioned this special pieces for their happy occasion. A hundred years later, it still stands as a testament to the undying emotions imbedded in fine antique carpets.
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
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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 π±π§
