A serenely beautiful Yastik or pillow case, woven in Mujur during the reign of Sultan Abdul Majid (1839 - 1861). The golden yellow tone is sensationally pretty. The flowery motifs are known as Majidi, relative to the Sultan. A very rare and collectible antique rug.
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
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.
