Story

Before there was Hereke, the Ottoman Sultans offered patronage to the royal Feshane workshop in Istanbul itself. The name means 𝙃𝙀π™ͺπ™¨π™š 𝙀𝙛 π™π™šπ™¨ after the famous Moroccan city and its famous hats. You guessed it: the famous Ottoman Tarboush hats 🎩 were made in Feshane with fabulous merinos wool. And that’s where the carpets of the 19th century Ottoman palaces came from. Sultan Mahmud IIβ€”the great Ottoman reformerβ€”established the Feshane weaving factory in 1833 (193 years ago!) in Istanbul.

Here’s 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. You’re welcome πŸ˜‰

What our customers say!

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

 

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de l’exposition Β« L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ  laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mΓ©tier !
