Story

The all time finest and rarest of all kilims are these small Senneh ones woven on 𝘏𝘒𝘧𝘡 π˜™π˜’π˜―π˜¨ "seven-colored" silk warps. They were made as presentation pieces in the Qajar age, exchanged or presented as gifts between courtiers and noblemen. It seems unlikely they were ever intended to be used on the floor, but rather as ceremonial pieces to be placed on elevated surfaces on momentous occasions. The 𝘎𝘰𝘭 𝘍𝘒𝘳𝘒𝘯𝘨 field of flowers is a complex design that is difficult enough to create on a knotted pile carpet let alone an angular kilim technique. This is a stunning feat of craftsmanship and a top top collectible kilim.

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό

 

 

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F. Alsagoff, Singapore
