Generously proportioned and attractively laid out, this large antique Caucasian is a sight to behold. The honey π― or camel πͺ colored field relaxes the eye with its breadth. Three Samovar-shaped medallions undulate across it. The field is framed by a jagged band in dark blue that reveals symbolic tribal motifs, some abstract and talismanic such as the stars and amulets, others tangible like the dogs π camels π« and (my favorite) the dude with outstretched arms and oversized hands π
Collectible, decorative, functional, beautiful.
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

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
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 ππ°
