This is the LARGEST tribal bag I have ever seen, also the largest Turkmen (chuval Ψ΄ΩΨ§Ω) bag I have ever seen. It is 175 cm wide and exactly 1 meter tall. Chunky in pile and--miraculously-- with the kilim back still there and attached πͺπ― π΄πͺπ΅πΆ. I really wonder what they used to store in this oversized artifact and how they carried it around in their seasonal migrations.

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
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait π°πΌ
