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
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 🇰🇼
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 🇱🇧
