Arguably the finest rugs of the 19th century are the silk foundation Senneh group. Their finesse and remarkable quality are unparalleled to the extent that they are compared to shawls and other fine textiles. It also means that very few of them survive intact over 150 years.
Almost all silk base Senneh carpets are in π¨π©π’ππͺπ€π©π¦ size averaging 190 cm in length. ππ’π³π₯π¦π© specimens that reach 2.5 meters are once in a lifetime pieces. This is such a masterpiece.
It is very sweet in all possible ways. The ππ’π©πͺ pattern is executed with impressive detailing in a quasi microscopic manner. We think we see 4 separate layers of design but in truth they are all the same ππ’π©πͺ pattern tiling the field but the sections are separated by clever coloring and contouring.
Perfect condition, extant and full end kilim with extravagant original ends. Another collector's gem.
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
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. π¬π§
