This is the finest Qashqai I have had. Dazzling beauty & incredible quality. The best always for my dear clients.
This is the most exclusive group of Kashkuli rugs woven in the 1800s on the private looms of the tribal Khans. Variants survive but this masterpiece is recently discovered & hitherto unpublished, 1 of the 3 best that are unknown. The other 2 shattered auction records when they sold in recent decades.
The finest possible weave.
The most excellent natural dyes.
The absolute best condition.
Full pile, full locked kilim end, full original fringes.
A delight to hold and a joy to behold.
Highest collectibility level.
A once in a lifetime opportunity.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
