Before there was Hereke, the Ottoman Sultans offered patronage to the royal Feshane workshop in Istanbul itself. The name means ππ€πͺπ¨π π€π πππ¨ after the famous Moroccan city and its famous hats. You guessed it: the famous Ottoman Tarboush hats π© were made in Feshane with fabulous merinos wool. And thatβs where the carpets of the 19th century Ottoman palaces came from. Sultan Mahmud IIβthe great Ottoman reformerβestablished the Feshane weaving factory in 1833 (193 years ago!) in Istanbul.
Hereβs a grandiose example of what the tasteful folks there were up to. Like this azure stunner. With its dramatic open field and gorgeous reds. Enjoy. Youβre welcome π

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
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.

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait π°πΌ
