This rare group of nomadic rugs with swarms and swarms of peacocks is extremely popular with both collectors and connoisseurs. Everyone with an interest in tribal rugs seems to be attracted to these dynamic, vivacious antique carpets.
This example survives in perfect condition, with brilliant natural dyes. The contrast between the ivory colored medallions and the midnight blue field (both and all stuffed with birds to the brim) is markedly eye catching. There's so much fun action going on.
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
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 ๐ฑ๐ง
