One for the treasure chest. An instant favorite.
This latest find of mine shoots straight into the top of my all time charts. It sure is tiny but boy does it pack a whole lotta punch into its sweet little body.
Farahan Poshti with silk lions π¦ silk horses π silk dogs π silk deer π¦ with long long antlers, and silk lotus πͺ· flowers emanating from a silk lined vase πΊ
Delicious color palette π¨ with a handsome field of undyed, naturally colored wool and a truly electric β‘οΈ electrifying metallic blueβ howβd they dye that?
The best thing is the ultra plush wool quality and extra soft weave. It has incredible age. One of my favourite buys in a long time.

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
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 π±π§
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
