Story

A fantastical antique rug with distinct iconography. The border boasts mythical Vaqvaq features while the field is topped by a Mehrab of exaggerated shape and proportions. So much so that its tip or apex disappears into the horizon beyond (behind?) the border.

Fish and bizarre marine creatures swim in the sea at the bottom, underneath a floating castle lifted from Naboo. Quadripeds and land beasts then dot the landscape, with birds perched beyond, perfectly reflecting the hierarchy of the physical world.

The rug bears a date 1250 Hijri, corresponding to 1833. That's almost 200 years old!

What our customers say!

“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
