Sublime and superb! Quite a decorative statement. Direct French influence is on show here with the curling garlands of roses and leaves that paint a gorgeous garden scene. The Louis XVI style was adopted at the Romanov Imperial court in St Petersburg during the reign of Catherine the Great and received further impetus by the arts of the Napoleon III age. This culminated in this beautiful rose carpets in Karabagh. Signed by an Armenian weaver and dated 1890, this stunning kelleh is in perfect condition. Among its quirks is a series of birds perched along its central axis.
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
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 🇱🇧
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
