Museum quality historical masterpiece with provenance and history inscribed in the formidable signature cartouche. One of a half dozen in different designs commissioned in the 1890s by Sultan Abdul Hamid IIโs government for the Ottoman Pavilion at the landmark Paris World Expo. A comparable prayer rug from the same exclusive royal order was formerly in the collection of the Ottoman businessman Calouste Gulbenkian and currently is on display at the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon.
This is the first of the 6 to become available on the market for way over a century. Took me 4 years to finally acquire this 125 year old turquoise belle. When it was made the USA ๐บ๐ธ was only 124 years old and Istanbul was still officially called Constantinople.
Further details to follow; meanwhile, enquiries are welcome from private collections, museums and public institutions. Authenticated and certified.
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
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida ๐บ๐ธ
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
