Story

Palatial and graceful, this oversized antique Malayer is a rare thing indeed if only for its size and all over pattern. It boasts esteemed provenance, having lain in the CEO's office at the renowned German construction firm π˜½π™„π™‡π™π™„π™‰π™‚π™€π™ π˜Όπ™‰π˜Ώ π˜½π™€π™π™‚π™€π™ for much of its existence.

The dimensions are ideal and the aesthetics highly decorative. It is generously proportioned, being substantially wide and easier to use than the narrow π˜’π˜¦π˜­π˜­π˜¦π˜© format carpets. The lattice theme harkens back to the important 18th century carpets discussed in my book π™π™π™š π™‹π™šπ™§π™¨π™žπ™–π™£ π˜Ύπ™–π™§π™₯π™šπ™©: π™π™π™š π™π™€π™§π™œπ™€π™©π™©π™šπ™£ π™”π™šπ™–π™§π™¨ 1722-1872. As such this carpet is older than most Malayers around, closer to the earlier decades of the 19th century than others.

What our customers say!

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 πŸ‡±πŸ‡§

 

 

β€œYou 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 πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

 

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de l’exposition Β« L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ  laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mΓ©tier ! Hana Chidiac, Curator of the Middle East Department at the Musee Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France πŸ‡«πŸ‡·
