Story

Of uncertain Central Asian provenance, this remarkable thing is remarkable to say the least. While the rug itself is rectangular and straight, the pattern most certainly isn't. There are two possible explanations. Either this was created on opium or it was a young girl's work. Nomads would teach their daughters the art of weaving around the age of 8 to 10 years old, so that they would make their mistakes under a watchful and instructive eye. The rugs that these children make were mostly crooked and naive, much like drawings that young schoolchildren do. And they generally do not survive, which makes this unique object a truly worthy study piece and a really collectible rug.

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 🇰🇼

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 🇸🇦
