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.
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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 π°πΌ
