Age 1860
Heartwarming and soulful, this is a really old Bakhshayesh from the 1860s. The fact that it has wool warps confirms the early age and lends it a delightful feel. The allover Mahi Herati style really works great on this light background. If you zoom in you will be awed by the spectacular natural dyes on display. Gorgeous greens, beautiful blues, pretty pinks.. all surrounded by a yummy yellow border. This antique rug is ideal for decorative purposes in a dining room, say, or an organic communal area. Works wonderfully with woods and leathers.
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
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 🇭🇰
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
