Perfection. Even though I have some higher brow silk wefted Qashqai rugs, from the loftier Persepolis and Millefleurs traditions, but this sparkly beauty occupies a special place in my heart. It is woven with love from start to finish. The ultra thin fringes complement the silk wefts running horizontally to create a super fine texture with amazingly high knot density. The dye materials are outstanding. Condition is perfect with intact end kilims and full pile. This is as good a tribal rug as you or I will ever see.
“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 🇸🇦
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 🇰🇼
