This is a superb example of one of the finest and most collectible groups of antique Baluch weaving. This rug is unusual in being somewhat smaller than the usual size for these. There is great beauty in the foliate border and the floral field with its white Jasmin flowers. I love the finely worked end kilims here and absolutely adore the "false start" at the beginning of the field.
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
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
