Perfection. Even though I have some higher brow silk wefted Qashqai rugs, from the loftier Persepolis and Millefleurs traditions, but this sparkly beauty occupies a special place in my heart. It is woven with love from start to finish. The ultra thin fringes complement the silk wefts running horizontally to create a super fine texture with amazingly high knot density. The dye materials are outstanding. Condition is perfect with intact end kilims and full pile. This is as good a tribal rug as you or I will ever see.
“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 🇦🇺
“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 🇸🇦
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
