Story

Tribal palatial museum vibes. An aristocratic Shekarlu clan XXL carpet woven for the royal court. It is inscribed
ุฌู„ูˆุณ ู…ุธูุฑ ุงู„ุฏูŠู† ุดุงู‡

Meaning, the ascension to the throne of the 5th Qajar Shah. It is furthermore dated 1313 Hijri lunar (1896, the actual start of his reign).

All this alone makes it a very significant historical document and of museum qualityโ€” keep in mind that the vast majority of nomads were illiterate, and could not create paintings or write letters. They could only create carpets and related artefacts. But there are other reasons too.

It is one of the largest Qashqai rugs youโ€™ll see and definitely the largest Shekarlu I have ever seen. Even more, it is filled with a dizzying array of nomadic motifs and symbols. I could spend an evening counting the camels alone. And then there is the impressive diversity of trees: cherry blossoms, oaks, and even palm trees ๐ŸŒด

I canโ€™t think of another rug that has even one of these features. Enjoy โ˜บ๏ธ

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

 

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 dealerโ€™s 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. Alsagoff, Singapore

 

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
