It is said that in the late 19th century some carpet weavers migrated from Senneh northwards to Tabriz in search of better work opportunities. The rugs they wove utilized the single weft technique of their original hometown, so the resultant (and very rare) carpets they made in Tabriz were called ππ¦π―π―π¦π© ππ’π§ meaning Senneh-weave.
This is a very decorative pair with attractive properties. Functionally speaking, for purposes of interior decor, the π±π’π³π₯π¦π© size is unusual and much demanded. The pattern is all over and ideally suited for contemporary interiors given the absence of difficult central medallion elements. The color scheme is neutral and a happy match to various ranges of furnishing color palettes. In collectibility ratings, the rugs stand out for being a pair of such a rare type, with all over design, an absence of medallions and strong reds, and for being in such glorious shape.
Perfect condition, top quality.
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait π°πΌ
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 ππ°
