Story

A most unusual carpet from the acclaimed Hajji Jalili school, it depicts a Tree of Life that rises across the central axis. Slightly above the halfway mark is a blue pond, from which spiral out a number of arabesque curls bearing hoopoe birds of Quranic symbolism from the story of Balqis, the Queen of Sheba. The ruby red field is truly attractive, particularly how it is complemented by the brown bark of the tree and the blues of the pond and leaves. The quintessential Hajji Jalili workshop border is on show, executed with finesse and elegance. The proportions are quite unusual suggesting this may have been a special commission.

What our customers say!

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 🇱🇧

 

 

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 🇺🇸

 

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 🇭🇰
