This is a rare room size carpet commissioned by a Khan or tribal chieftain of the Azeri nomads in the Sarab district. Woven elegantly with fine camel hair, this is a prized and rare achievement of tribal art. A bare handful of these survive in such perfect condition. The plain outer border is matched by the earthy or Khaki wide silhouette around the medallion. We see 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨 type motifs in the corner section. Amazing.
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 🇭🇰
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
“You 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 🇦🇺
