Story

The round format for such an old rug is arresting and quite unique really--perhaps only a handful of pre-modern rugs were ever created round. The provenance is harder to identify because the carpet seems to be a transition piece between the pre-Zeigler (pre 1860s) Farahan county rugs and the earliest examples of the Mohtasham atelier. Both were highly proficient and highly thought of. The wool and dye quality is akin to Mohtasham but the handle and the looser weave is more indicative of Farahan. Regardless, a top notch collector piece.

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 🇸🇦
