Story

Hold on, wait a minute. Double sided? Yep. Truly exceptional and one of a kind. This is an original antique Mohtasham rug, with original purple pink selvedge cords along its edges. It is double sided i.e. woven with knots or a pile on either side. This is an incredibly complex and extremely difficult technique to pull off because it entails having two very skilled weavers sitting either side of the loom and weaving simultaneously. It also requires them to have the same style of weaving in order to pull it off. One side has an elegant medallion on a pink field with blue border. The other has a mihrab niche atop a slender vase on a beige field with an earthy border. Sublime. Museum level, historical really.

What our customers say!

โ€œI practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

 

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ป
