Story

In a world full of Shekarlu rugs, you stand out if you are (or have) this. The clan is one of the mightier constituents of the Qashqai confederacy and have woven their famous design for centuries. This is the single best one I have seen or handled. The quality of dye materials is outrageous! In particular the green and blue that add zest and spirit to the geometric leafy interior. The Shekarlu white border is neatly portrayed. The ends are amazing: we see the heraldic checkerboard squares in sumakh technique on either side just before those lush, braided fringes. These both are terrific markers of terrific age. A collector's nomadic rug. And totally deserving of the etymology of the Shekarlu name: The Sugar Folk.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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 🇭🇰

 

“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 🇦🇺
