Story

Absolutely stunning antique Caucasian rug from the Shusha region. Woven by expert Armenian master craftswomen, this masterpiece bursts with incredible colors. The distinct cochineal insect red allows us to attribute it so precisely.

The all over pattern is a mid 19th century variant of the famous and much loved π™ˆπ™žπ™£π™– π™†π™π™–π™£π™ž design. Full details may be found in my book. For the present, this carpet is one of the most successful and beautiful of all π™ˆπ™žπ™£π™– π™†π™π™–π™£π™ž rugs I have encountered. This is mostly on account of the mature spacing and frenetic flow of the rosettes and Jasmin blossoms; but also due to the impressive range and delectable sparkle of the dyes. The wide spectrum of tonality covers all the rainbow shades and is far higher than the average for a 19th century rug.

What our customers say!

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la prΓ©paration de l’exposition Β« L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19Γ¨me siΓ¨cle Β» qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et Γ  laquelle il a participΓ© par le prΓͺt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors Γ©tΓ© impressionnΓ©e par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marquΓ© le dΓ©but d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musΓ©e du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur Γ©quivalent dans les musΓ©es occidentaux. Ce que j’apprΓ©cie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son mΓ©tier !

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

 

Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
