One for the treasure chest. An instant favorite.
This latest find of mine shoots straight into the top of my all time charts. It sure is tiny but boy does it pack a whole lotta punch into its sweet little body.

Delicious color palette π¨ with a handsome field of undyed, naturally colored wool and a truly electric β‘οΈ electrifying metallic blueβ howβd they dye that?
The best thing is the ultra plush wool quality and extra soft weave. It has incredible age. One of my favourite buys in a long time.

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 π°πΌ
