Silk base Senneh rugs were definitely the finest to be woven in the 19th century in terms of knot count--to the extent that many people think they belonged on table tops rather than on the floor. This handsome example stands out for its border and its slender flower cartouches whose forms break the monotony of the Mahi corners and whose colors rhyme with the Saraband field within.

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 🇱🇧
