Story

This sprawling carpet was woven at the east end of the fabled Silk Road, in the Yarkand oasis. The Uighur town is situated in East Turkestan, the furthest extremity of the Islamic world, which is today known as the Xinjiang province of China. The design is of ancient Biblical origin and represents a growing and seemingly non-ending pomegranate tree. The fusion of cultures from various points of the Silk Road is also evident in the border which borrows traits from 18/19th century Ningxia and Peking Chinese carpets.

What our customers say!

To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼
