A little gem that is simply too cute to shoot. It is inspired by
European paintings of the 19th century, particularly the French vogue for ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด ๐งรช๐ต๐ฆ๐ด ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฑรช๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด in the first half of the 1800s. Brilliant coloring and very fine wool in this pictorial composition in a rare poshti size.

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 ๐ฑ๐ง
