Story

This charming nomadic rug is quite the eye catcher. The corner spandrels are dyed in saffron tone while the stark indigo field presents us with 4 camels and two tantalizing inscriptions. The first is

This recalls the famous 19th century adventure novel Hajji Baba of Ispahan, written by James Morier in 1824 and covered in my Oxford PhD dissertation on 18th and 19th century Persian rugs. This also inspired the name of the worldโ€™s oldest and most famous carpet collecting club, the Hajji Baba Club of New York City.

(In memory and celebration of the Pahlavi age. )

This probably refers either to the recently enthroned Pahlavi Dynasty in Persia or to the ancient empire 2,500 years ago whose language was called Pahlavi (which in Arabic became fahlawi).

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง

 

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.โ€ Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
