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!

I first met Dr. Maktabi as a lecturer on carpet history and was captivated by his passion for the subject. Only later I knew him as a dealer, though even in our financial transactions, Hadi has been a gentle guide and friend. He has understood my taste and interests and made wonderful suggestions, but never in a pushy way. That is to say I have enjoyed working with him on several levels and wish to continue our excellent relations and dealings far into the future. A. Harvey Pincis, formerly Dar Al Athar Al Islamiyyah Museum (Kuwait), Latvia πŸ‡±πŸ‡»

 

 

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 πŸ‡±πŸ‡§

 

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. Penelope and Timothy Hays, Just In From The East Collection, Florida πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
