A very important late Ottoman rug of masterly refinement and historical significance. It was commissioned by the Young Turk CUP (Committee of Union and Progress ุญุฒุจ ุงูุงุชุญุงุฏ ู ุงูุชุฑูู) to commemorate the end of the civil strife in Istanbul that ended with Sultan Abdul Hamid II's abdication in 1908 and the erection of the public monument seen in this rug.
Beautiful calligraphy all around the perfectly spaced border. We also see two ๐ผ๐๐๐ผ heraldic royal Ottoman coat of arms medals hanging against the deep indigo.
Museum worthy.
โI 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. Hadiโs 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 ๐ธ๐ฆ
โYou donโt just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโs an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐ฆ๐บ
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
