Story

One of the awesomest pairs of antique Kashan carpets we have seen and handled.

They survive intact, in utterly perfect condition.

The weave is superfine, with high knot count.

Silk is profusely used within the twin carpets, the ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ mixing of yarns being exceedingly rare.

The choice of natural dyes is stunning, especially the sky blue and the emerald green. How about the succulent indigo blue of the field and the unbelievable red of the border?

Design wise, there is so much greatness going on. The rich field of each rug has multiple flowering vases, their blossoms spiraling out into dense, complex arabesque spirals. A sumptuous ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ crowns each carpet but beneath each we see sublime Phoenix ๐˜š๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜ฉ birds fusing into the ๐˜Œ๐˜ด๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ช vinery.

We and you will not be finding this quality of art easily. Easily best of type and highly collectible.

His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way.

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
