Story

This is a museum quality work of Islamic art.
It is a 300 year old prayer rug from the weaving town of Kula in western Anatolia. The color palette is predominately earthy with a subtle peachy red and an eye catching Islamic green with symbolic religious resonances.

The prayer design is based around the ๐™ข๐™š๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™— prayer niche which is mirrored within the field with a wide band (containing scrolling arabesques) that curls back inwards at the base of the field, a so-called "re-entrant" movement that recalls the "Bellini" or "keyhole" prayer rugs of the 15th century.

A bold calligraphic band runs across the top of the ๐™ข๐™š๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™— arch. It presents a beautifully written rhyming couplet of Arabic poetry signifying a direct call to prayer:

ุนุฌู„ูˆุง ุจุงู„ุตู„ุงุฉ ู‚ุจู„ ุงู„ููˆุช
ูˆ ุนุฌู„ูˆุง ุจุงู„ุชูˆุจุฉ ู‚ุจู„ ุงู„ู…ูˆุช

What our customers say!

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

 

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
