A dramatic turquoise landscape of regal majesty and timeless appeal. This is one of the largest ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข (Millefleurs) design carpets in existence. Instead of the traditional indigo dark blue, here we have a celestial sky blue which is serene and uplifting.
This suggests it was made for a Qajar era palace in one of the royal ateliers attached.
Full pile, perfect condition, never used.
Museum quality collectible.
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 ๐บ๐ธ
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
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
