Abstract tribal art at its most evocative.
Heriz area weaving at its most beautiful.
Antique rug art at its most evocative.
It took me years to be able to acquire this fascinating Vagireh sampler from a house in the Heriz district itself. It finally happened during an Ashura reception, surprisingly. The visual is more Sci-Fi than folkloric craft, more space age than traditional rug. The abstraction is married to ferociously high quality vegetable dyes, including an astonishing green and a pleasing sky blue. The main tone, surprisingly and deliciously, is undyed wool of natural tonality.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
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 🇱🇧
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.
