This is a terrific fusion piece. In weave it is distinctly a Heriz district rug, with marked Karaja area technical characteristics. In art, we see the world famous 'Eagle' (Adler) design associated with the Caucasian village of Chelabert. Ottoman dealers called them Chelebi rugs, Germans used the term Adler, and the English preferred Eagle Karabagh.
However, research has shown that such rugs were woven in the village of Barjid, where Shahasavan clans settled in the aftermath of the Russo-Persian wars of 1801-1828. The village is in the far north of Heriz county, close to their ancestral homelands across the Aras (Araxes) River dividing modern Persia from its ancient borderland provinces of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus.
Full, meaty pile with solid natural dyes.
Best of both worlds.

βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait π°πΌ
