Story

Endearingly attractive, this Qashqai kilim is a sofreh or eating cloth. Meaning that the weaver wove it for members of her family to gather around and lay their food on. The exquisite nature of the vegetable dyes and the finesse of weave--evidenced by the ultra fine warp threads we see at top and bottom--indicate this was woven by either a very skilled weaver or for a high ranking member of the clan. The pattern is called Mowj, meaning 'waves', for the charming zigzag motifs that course throughout it. Love it!

What our customers say!

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 don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺

 

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.
