And in perfect condition with a frankly stunning weave with exquisitely fine materials ... we have this one of a kind antique Qashqai tribal rug. The feyrouzi blue field brings the Mahi design to life. The quality of the piece is evidenced also in the long, braided fringes which on close inspection illustrate the very fine warp threads used to weave it and achieve this high knot count for a nomadic piece.
It is signed as follows:

Commissioned by the lord Khan Ali Khan, from the workshop of Dawoud, and presented to his excellency Seyyed Ja'afar, chief physician to the royal court, woven by Is'haq Khan (of the tribe ...)
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 🇱🇧
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 🇭🇰
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
