Story

A quirky Bakhtiari that walks like an Egyptian! This fascinating tribal rug probably dates to the early 1900s when the crazy for Egyptology captured world headlines. It is not hard to draw a long but straight line from Howard Carter, the Valley of the Kings, to European and American printed media, and thereafter to Persian printing and subsequently carpets.

The 'forest' theme prevalent in Bakhtiari Garden Carpets, of the Bīd Majnūn variety, is here interspersed with 8 cameo-style representations of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. And dogs.

What our customers say!

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

 

 

“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 🇸🇦

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸
