This attractive tribal Baluch rug has a Mina Khani style field that is populated by 5 rows of 2 peacocks each, paired and facing each other. These birds stand for fertility and are omens of good luck. The geometric stylization of the flowery border is a famous style in this group of MK rugs, much beloved and collected.

You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon 🇱🇧
