Story

Exquisite. A tribal collector's dream, this pair of ultra ultra fine 𝘀𝘩𝘒𝘯𝘡𝘦𝘩 vanity bags take my breath away every time I get them out of the chest to look at them. They were woven with love and affection, most likely as a dowry piece by a young bride. The long tassels are beautifully braided with fluffy pompoms. The sumakh flat weave is boisterous in its energetic colors, a testament to the awesomeness of the natural organic dyes and the fantastic good taste with which they were chosen. At first sight they looked Shahsavan to me but the structure felt Qashqai. Later on I learnt they belong to a group of Shahsavan folk who migrated southwards and dwelled among the Qashqai, thus explaining the fusion of style and structure. They are known as Baghdadi for some reason in the old trade.

What our customers say!

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 πŸ‡­πŸ‡°

 

 

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

 

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.
