Story

A 200 year old Ottoman flat weave from Central Anatolia. It is one of very few surviving Saph group prayer rugs. It is unusual for having 9 ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™— prayer arches. It is exceedingly rare for being a kilim Saph and not merely a pile woven carpet Saph.

By the way, Saph derives from the Arabic ุตู "saff" meaning "row" (of arches).

It has tremendous graphic visual power and would look great hanging on a wall.

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

 

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
