Is this real? A unique pair of antique Kurdish kilim runners with ancient fertility symbolism.
The dye materials are outstanding especially the apricot. The fact that it’s a pair of runner kilims is quite special too. However nothing beats the sequence of clearly drawn ladies with their wombs showing within. It’s fascinating to note that the only other thing along them are stars indicating that woman, indeed, is the essence of the universe and source of all life ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️
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
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 🇭🇰
