Arguably the finest rugs of the 19th century are the silk foundation Senneh group. Their finesse and remarkable quality are unparalleled to the extent that they are compared to shawls and other fine textiles. It also means that very few of them survive intact over 150 years.
Almost all silk base Senneh carpets are in π¨π©π’ππͺπ€π©π¦ size averaging 190 cm in length. ππ’π³π₯π¦π© specimens that reach 2.5 meters are once in a lifetime pieces. This is such a masterpiece.
It is very sweet in all possible ways. The ππ’π©πͺ pattern is executed with impressive detailing in a quasi microscopic manner. We think we see 4 separate layers of design but in truth they are all the same ππ’π©πͺ pattern tiling the field but the sections are separated by clever coloring and contouring.
Perfect condition, extant and full end kilim with extravagant original ends. Another collector's gem.
βYou donβt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itβs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!β Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia π¦πΊ
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealerβs description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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¦
