Story

Absolutely stunning antique Caucasian rug from the Shusha region. Woven by expert Armenian master craftswomen, this masterpiece bursts with incredible colors. The distinct cochineal insect red allows us to attribute it so precisely.

The all over pattern is a mid 19th century variant of the famous and much loved π™ˆπ™žπ™£π™– π™†π™π™–π™£π™ž design. Full details may be found in my book. For the present, this carpet is one of the most successful and beautiful of all π™ˆπ™žπ™£π™– π™†π™π™–π™£π™ž rugs I have encountered. This is mostly on account of the mature spacing and frenetic flow of the rosettes and Jasmin blossoms; but also due to the impressive range and delectable sparkle of the dyes. The wide spectrum of tonality covers all the rainbow shades and is far higher than the average for a 19th century rug.

What our customers say!

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

 

 

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. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό
