The most spectacular antique 3D Soof Kashan youβll ever see .. silk on silk with a unique turquoise blue tone .. and a few ounces of silverπ©Ά 100% intact. My #heavymetal baby is exhilaratingπ©Άππ©Ά This is royal art and historical luxury at the absolutely highest level ever achieved
Very few 3D Soof rugs were woven. Of the surviving few, over 90% are yellow or golden. Turquoise blue is astoundingly hard to find.
Multicolor (tricolor actually) silk fringes only add to the appeal. The quality of materials, weave, choice of color and design balance together make it one of the absolute best and rarest antique silk rugs of all time.
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°
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
