An awesome antique tribal carpet with the famous 18th century Bid Majnoun design, literally meaning "weeping willow". It is named after the willow tree underneath which Majnoun Layla sat and wept. And wept and wept. And the tree wept as well!
The carpet is large and in full pile. Meaty and juicy. The natural dyes are bright and sparkly like a candy shop, the name under which it is posted on our social media channels.
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
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
