Story

This oddly shaped Turkmen tribal rug was meant as a religious artwork, with a utilitarian usage. The arched upper end creates a visible real life Mehrab niche silhouette. Within the field we see a humanoid Mehrab outline similar to those of the nearby Baluch tribes.

Brilliantly saturated natural dyes. Perfect condition, in full pile with original fringes and complete end kilims.

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 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

 

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 🇱🇧
