On my quest to find you the awesomest antique rugs in the world, I bring you this:
The largest Millefleurs Kashkuli carpet on record thatโs also signed by the Qashqai khan (tribal chief) who commissioned it + date of creation!
It was made for Khosrow Khan Qashqai in the year 1321 (1903) ๐ฎ
In the unique size format 3 x 2 meters;
Wool pile on wool foundation in that sturdy Kashkuli weave;
With glorious natural dyes โ especially a brilliant blue, gorgeous green and radiant red.
The handsomely large size creates a more expansive and much more expressive garden layout, with bolder motifs and higher artistic depth to them both individually and as a whole.
Available + collectible on a supremely high level. Please DM for price.
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealerโs description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
