Delightful antique Baluch with glorious natural dyes, wonderfully lustrous wool and a very soft texture. One of the best tribal rugs I’ve sourced this year.
The snowflake ❄️ lozenges nearly fit into the beautifully laid out lattice netting. Very attractive and very appealing.
The oxidised walnut brown lend a lovely 3D effect to the pile. The blue is excellent.
Full pile, complete end kilims, zero damage
“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 🇱🇧
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
