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.
I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A.

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¦
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!
