Age 1860
Heartwarming and soulful, this is a really old Bakhshayesh from the 1860s. The fact that it has wool warps confirms the early age and lends it a delightful feel. The allover Mahi Herati style really works great on this light background. If you zoom in you will be awed by the spectacular natural dyes on display. Gorgeous greens, beautiful blues, pretty pinks.. all surrounded by a yummy yellow border. This antique rug is ideal for decorative purposes in a dining room, say, or an organic communal area. Works wonderfully with woods and leathers.
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 🇭🇰
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇱🇧
