This beautiful rug belongs to an exclusive group of ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฉ design Malayers with a plain open space with an alluring and highly symbolic undyed wool field in natural color.
They tend to appear in ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ rather than ๐ป๐ข๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ size. A beautiful ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ is posted on this site. This makes the present lot extremely rare.
The milky tonality has ancient Sufi mystical connotations and links the artwork to the wandering dervishes and their connection to the "soil of the earth", that which in English is usually phrased as "salt of the earth".
Timeless, rare and most charming.
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
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
Acquiring a piece from my dear friend Hadi is truly a journey. We start that journey with a lesson and detailed background on any piece that is of interest. After a thorough discussion regarding the chosen piece or should I say marvel, since Hadi's pieces are truly marvels, Hadi guides us into why he would advise us to acquire it or go for another of his marvels that would suit us more than the one initially chosen. This sincere advice always makes us feel that we are generously taken care of by Hadi. The learning process and honesty in guidance make us go back only to Hadi whenever we are looking for our next beautiful piece for our homes. All I can say is thank you Hadi for your impeccable guidance and service. Abdullah Al-Awadhi, Kuwait ๐ฐ๐ผ
