Story

A wall hanging rug of irrepressible charm and naiveté!
It tells the story of nomadic migration and as such is a valuable ethnographic folk artefact. An adult dromedary camel dominates the scape with its child behind it. Note the humble human figure compared to the rich trappings and khorjins on the camel's back (for reference, see my XXL Baluch Camel saddlebag elsewhere on this site). Further off we see two horned antelopes and three tents. Don't forget to pay attention to the boteh lined border and the zigzags!

What our customers say!

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

 

 

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 🇭🇰

 

“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 🇦🇺
