Story

Despite the Communist takeover, this 100 year old rug woven in 1921 is a clear nationalistic statement by Armenian weavers. It is signed and dated in Armenian and depicts the legendary Queen Akh Tamar. The Armenian community in Lebanon refers to this historic design as "Mother Armenia", which is equally expressive as a rallying symbol for their diaspora spread all around the world. Collectible and high grade, of museum quality and special interest to all Armenians and Armenophiles worldwide.

What our customers say!

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 🇰🇼
