A mint condition rarity in highly desirable and unusual small size. The open madder red field delicately balances the navy blue medallion (note the little cypress tree of life) and ornate corner elements. The plain outer strip is a signature style for these really old pre-commercial Bakhshayesh weavings. A collector's delight.
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 🇱🇧
