Story

As museum quality a piece as you or I will see. This fantastic antique prayer rug is unique and noteworthy for various reasons:
1. The silk pile
2. The silver wefts used throughout but which appear as design elements in Soof technique interspersed with the silk pile
3. The uncommon use of the very Islamic green color, signifying this was intended for prayer
4. The very early tulip border, reminiscent of 16th century royal Ottoman rugs
5. The calligraphy in Osmanli Turkish going around the inner border
6. The lantern dangling from the Mehrab niche, an echo of Surat Al Noor from the Holy Quran.

All this in perfect condition and with a remarkable sheen from both silver and silk threads!

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 🇸🇦

 

 

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

 

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.
