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!

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 πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ό

 

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.

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 πŸ‡­πŸ‡°
