Before there was Hereke, the Ottoman Sultans offered patronage to the royal Feshane workshop in Istanbul itself. The name means ππ€πͺπ¨π π€π πππ¨ after the famous Moroccan city and its famous hats. You guessed it: the famous Ottoman Tarboush hats π© were made in Feshane with fabulous merinos wool. And thatβs where the carpets of the 19th century Ottoman palaces came from. Sultan Mahmud IIβthe great Ottoman reformerβestablished the Feshane weaving factory in 1833 (193 years ago!) in Istanbul.
Hereβs a grandiose example of what the tasteful folks there were up to. Like this azure stunner. With its dramatic open field and gorgeous reds. Enjoy. Youβre welcome π

I have been buying and collecting oriental rugs for over 40 years. As a result I have had direct experiences with many dealers and galleries throughout Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia. The Hadi Maktabi establishment is distinct and unique. It is rare to find a dealer who not only has a discerning taste and excellent choice of rugs. But with Hadi, the experience is one of an erudite oriental rug scholar paired with years of family experiences and traditions dealing in rugs, carpets and textiles. The available choices, diversity and quality of his stock is awesome. It is always a pleasure. Highly recommended and satisfying. As a collector he has become not only a partner of choice, knowledge and information but also a valued friend. Robert Bell, CEO Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, U.K. π¬π§
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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§
