Right. Where do we start? We have the repeated scenes of animals comically devouring each other. How about the Dragon 🐉 gobbling up a nest of birds, tree and all? Or the lionesses attacking the deer 🦌? 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 🐻 smoking opium pipes. Wtf 😳 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 🤼♀️🤼♀️🤼🤼
“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
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 🇱🇧
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
