Style Medallion
Origin Qashqai
Type Tribal

This Qashqai belongs to the foremost group of Kashkuli clan weavings of the 19th century. They are recognizable by the distinctive ogival form of the medallion, the rather large leafy palmettes, and the lengthy and well worked kilim end finish. Tight knotting and brilliant natural dyes accompany the members of this group.
This piece has earthy tones rather than the dominant reds and blues of the others. It has a more nomadic spirit, visible in the birds π¦ and girls π§ sprinkled here and there.
Collectible and affordable.
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°
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 π±π§
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
