Story

Artistic genius & historical charm combine in this unique Azeri Bakhshayesh tribal family rug. A tribal masterpiece originally published by the eminent German dealer Herrmann almost 50 years ago, this raw beauty is full of charm. It is one of the few and very desirable small format Bakhshayesh rugs with plain outer strips. The undyed field creates harmony and abstraction. Six human figures and a dozen birds (peacocks?) are depicted in a sincere way lacking any symmetry

In a highly unconventional size, with startling undyed wool field with plain outer border; this is a sweet family album. 6 human figures representing the weaver and 5 others of her family clan. 12 peacocks with dramatic symbolism (12 for the 12 imams and 12 zodiac signs etc; 6 being a numerically perfect number, one of five such under a billion).

This gem of a carpet boasts tremendous provenance. It was with the German dealer E. Hermann in the 1970s and then sold to a Bavarian collector who flipped it via another German dealer to a Berlin collector from whom I acquired it. Distinguished provenance and unparalleled charm. One of my most delightful and collectible tribal masterpieces.

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
