Story

Unique.
This one of a kind antique sampler was woven in Rabat, the historical capital of Morocco in the 1800s. It presents a geometric layout of elements from Islamic architecture, including variations on the mehrab prayer arch. These motifs travelled across the Mediterranean from Ottoman Anatolia, where they originated, and they established themselves in Morocco in the early 1800s. The carpets woven there were of large Kelleh size, averaging 4 x 2 meters usually, making this unique vagireh even more spectacular for its odd size.

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 🇸🇦
