Story

I really find it hard to categorise this oddity. Far fewer rugs were woven in Georgia than in other Caucasian states and the few that are well known in no way resemble this. I came across it while treasure hunting in the old bazar of Tbilisi, not having any idea what I would find! The field is flat woven with black kilim while a cornucopia of abstract motifs are inwoven in knotted carpet pile--in a very fluffy, shaggy way I might add. This 'thing' possesses irresistible charm to me, both decorative and emotive. While not being the oldest or finest of Caucasian rugs, we can very safely say it is pretty much unique.

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 🇰🇼

 

 

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 🇱🇧

 

Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience!
