This is an example from one of the oldest Caucasian design groups, which I comprehensively study in my book. It is a derivative form of the ππͺπ―π’ ππ©π’π―πͺ pattern with rosettes and four slanted cypress trees π² Elsewhere on this site I publish a far older example.
This carpet was most likely woven by Shahsavan clans living in the Khanate of Karabagh in the mid 1800s and stands out for its white field and beautiful aesthetic that combines the vegetal with the geometric.
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
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!

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.
