Most excellent, most impressive, most charming.
An intact Malayer from the 1800s in perfect condition and irresistible beauty. What is most appealing instantaneously is the ivory colored plain field, with undyed wool and full of Sufi mystical connotations. It complements the reds of the motifs (with indigo detailing) especially when you notice the plain white strips either side of the main border.
This handsome design is called ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ข due to the crenellated undulations of the medallion, resembling a samovar tea pot. Most attractive.
The size is somewhat larger than usual, a so called ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ-๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฉ. All perfect condition with full pile and full end kilims and fringes.
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
โI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐ธ๐ฆ
โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
