Story

Comrades, for our Armenian friends all around the world, we present you with another unique historical artwork. A brilliant antique Serapi Heriz emblazoned with the heraldic symbols of the ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐——๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—›๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ธ ๐—ฃ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜†.

It is dated 1887 (Julian or Gregorian).
The party name is inscribed as follows:

Social (bottom)
Democratic (right)
Hunchak (above ๐Ÿ””)
Party (left)

The SDHP is the oldest Armenian political party in the world; also the oldest/first socialist party to be active in the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and Persia (Iran). It was founded in Geneva and the takes its name from the Armenian word for โ€˜bellโ€™ (signifying national awakening). Despite its political ideology it openly retains a clear cut Armenian identity by virtue of the religious cross emblazoned in the center between the hammer and the sickle.

This is a very important document for Armenian history and Near Eastern political history. The weave is very refined. I am quite impressed the SDHP commissioned a Serapi Heriz workshop to create this!

What our customers say!

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. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ

 

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
