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!

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

 

 

β€œYou 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 πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

 

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
