Story

As museum quality a piece as you or I will see. This fantastic antique prayer rug is unique and noteworthy for various reasons:
1. The silk pile
2. The silver wefts used throughout but which appear as design elements in Soof technique interspersed with the silk pile
3. The uncommon use of the very Islamic green color, signifying this was intended for prayer
4. The very early tulip border, reminiscent of 16th century royal Ottoman rugs
5. The calligraphy in Osmanli Turkish going around the inner border
6. The lantern dangling from the Mehrab niche, an echo of Surat Al Noor from the Holy Quran.

All this in perfect condition and with a remarkable sheen from both silver and silk threads!

What our customers say!

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

 

 

“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 🇦🇺

 

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 🇰🇼
