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
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
“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 🇱🇧
