A brilliant piece of nomadic weaving from the distant lands of Central Asia, brought to you by a nameless Baluchi master weaver. Deeply saturated natural dyes, a sparkling navy blue with vivid reds.
Great pile, lavish kilim ends and a terrific graphic.
The silhouette of the mehrab prayer arch is attractive and imposing. Its outline is broad and wide, lending it more graphic might. It encloses beautiful shrub motifs. The upper corners have slender trees with graceful geometry.
“You 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 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
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 🇭🇰
