Origin Heriz
Size 180 x 142
Age 1860
Small size Heriz rugs of great age are extremely rare. This one stands apart for its unique design that is not of carpet origin but seems to be inspired by the exotic and recently discovered 18th century Kaitag textiles of Azerbaijan. In a sense that shouldn't be surprising given that the whole region encompassing both was a single unit until relatively recently. The graphic elements are bold and few. The medallion dominates the show and practically touches all four borders. Its shape recalls the embroideries as do the white bracket forms (stylized dragons?) that are attached to it. Unique and irresistible to Heriz lovers.
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 🇰🇼
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 🇱🇧
