Ultra fine and high grade collectible antique Caucasian rug from the Kuba Khanate. Such fine carpets have escaped the market in the last 20 years after the 1990s craze for Caucasian collecting following the downfall of the USSR. It is a welcome surprise and indeed a pleasure to find and acquire such a stellar example. The star shaped motifs are the heraldic emblem of the Lesghi tribes that inhabit the northeast Caucasus. The dye materials and the secondary motifs are all stellar.
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
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
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 π±π§
