Story

Right. Where do we start? We have the repeated scenes of animals comically devouring each other. How about the Dragon ๐Ÿ‰ gobbling up a nest of birds, tree and all? Or the lionesses attacking the deer ๐ŸฆŒ? If you look closely you will notice that the contours of the medallion are actually made up of four double headed dragons. Each of its pendants depicts what look to be a pair of bears ๐Ÿป smoking opium pipes. Wtf ๐Ÿ˜ณ honestly. To me the most remarkable details lie in the corner elements where mustachioed wrestlers in skirts or shorts seem to be waltzing together while facing the viewer ๐Ÿคผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคผ๐Ÿคผ

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

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

 

 

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

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง
