Story

Can anything be more unique? Let's look at the overall picture and get down to details. The size is incredible, part kelleh and part runner. The scale of drawing is more in your face than carpets tend to be, making it clear this was a wall (or tent?) hanging par excellence.

Right to left, we see the Hijra date 1313 in camel hair, then a clean shaven warrior with sword facing a ferocious lion that seems to tower over everything else. A cypress tree of life stands either side of the lion. Further on we see a camel (in camel hair!) with a beautiful saddle cover rug on its hump. The stripes suggest a kilim. The camel is led by a little boy and boy do I mean little. After this we get a weeping willow (bid majnoun) tree. All around you can spot snakes, sheep, ducks, dogs, birds, and various sea monsters.

What our customers say!

“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 🇦🇺

 

 

“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 🇸🇦

 

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. Alsagoff, Singapore
