How did they do this? It's a guaranteed story favorite to share with friends and visitors. You won't find anything else like this stunning carpet. It depicts a fruit fest with bowls of stacked up pomegranates, apples, oranges, pears and grapes alongside sliced watermelons and flowering vases. What captures the eye are the crenellated borders along the four edges, meant to drip downwards when the rug is placed atop a table. At the left we see the signature of the master weaver Mahmoud Kho'yi and the lunar date 1321, indicating this was the work of the small city of Khoy in the extreme northwest of Persia.
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 🇰🇼
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 🇱🇧
