A charming tribal saddlebag from the Caucasian highlands, this beautiful artifact has an exuberant Gol Farang rose bouquet design that is famous for this region. The Khorjin is complete and intact. The back is in abstract red kilim weave, bearing a Perez number. The 2 panels are linked by a central band of rainbow stripes in kilim weave. The lappets and locking mechanism survive fully.
The upper bag-face is inscribed with a signature and a date.
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

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way.
