Story

Quasi circular old Hereke silk that’s actually a complex polygon with 16 vortexes!

Everyone else thought it was a circle but in fact it’s a multi-lobed Hexadecagonβ€” can you even imagine how difficult it is to weave that by hand? Euclid is smiling down at us from across time and space!

And then there’s the Phoenix πŸ¦β€πŸ”₯ Bird iconography. This sure ain’t your average silk Hereke. This is more special than most.

Funny thing is that I got this as change for a bigger deal I made. Now I have it, I realize it’s worth more than I suspected. It’s also signed by the artist Aynur, well known back in the day for this celebrated β€˜star’ shaped carpets 🌟

33 cm diameter (for diametrically opposed vertices, 8 star points apart)
Circa 1970
Perfect condition

What our customers say!

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 πŸ‡±πŸ‡§

 

 

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 πŸ‡­πŸ‡°

 

β€œI 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 πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦
