Story

Delightful and unique, this beautiful prayer rug is a collector's gem. It obviously is a special commission because it stands out (and is outstanding) for various reasons:

Everything is in silk, apart from the Tarboushi (Fez hat colored) red, which is ultra fine Kork lambswool. The mixed media reflect natural light in different ways, creating a subtle, supple effect.

It was made in a very particular Pardeh size, quite different from the standard Qaliche.

The dye materials are outstanding: the red is glorious and attractive while the purplish lilac of the border is magnificent.

In architectural compassion, the mehrab is supported by twin columns. It rises gracefully and, from its apex, dangles a brilliantly designed oil lamp along 3 chains--all executed in shiny silk. What is most eye catching is the podium rising partially from the center of the base, as if aiming to meet the lantern but not quite reaching.

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼

 

 

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.
