Story

How can you not fall in love with this? Even if you won't really need it for travel or migration, something about it tugs at you and makes you want it. It is one of a kind really, a carpet woven bag that goes lightyears beyond saddlebag 𝘬𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘫𝘪𝘯𝘴 and 𝘮𝘢𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩 bedding bags. It was published in an Italian collection back in the 1980s, when it was already over 100 years old, and hasn't aged a day since. A highly accomplished artist from the Kashkuli clan created it.

It is woven in one complete piece on a loom but consists of 5 sections. The central one is woven in rainbow stripe kilim and the 4 lateral ones are knotted in carpet pile. The two parts on the right and left are hexagonal while the upper and lower ones are rectangular. The 4 sections rise together to form a hexagonal-pyramidcal 3D structure. The bag has its original leather straps and iron buckles, in addition to leather going around the edges where woolen selvedges would normally be wound. Impeccable! All this and we haven't started to mention the 𝘎𝘰𝘭 𝘰 𝘉𝘰𝘭𝘣𝘰𝘭 design..

The beauty of detail

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸

 

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier ! Hana Chidiac, Curator of the Middle East Department at the Musee Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France 🇫🇷
