Story

Juicy with thick, meaty pile. This nomadic prayer rug has survived intact and is a rare occurrence of a tribal religious item. Two elegant columns rise either side of a central axis lined with Mina Khani style rosettes, topped by a niche mehrab choc-full of inscriptions. The holy names of Allah, Mohammad, Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hosein are all repeated in clearcut calligraphy--itself a rare and unusual feat on a tribal rug.

What our customers say!

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

 

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida 🇺🇸
