A world class tribal rug in perfect condition with a best-of-type animal pattern. Such rugs are pretty rare and incredibly hard to find; let alone in this particular ๐ฝ๐๐ก๐๐จ๐๐ฉ size. This refers to the nomadic stuff pillow that was placed behind a chieftain's back when sitting cross legged on a ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ wooden platform.
Swarms of quadrupeds (antelopes?) roam the field in rows of opposing orientation. Narrow borders and extra long end kilims confirm the very early date.
This is a collector's master choice.
More so when complemented with the full size ๐ฟ๐ค๐ฏ๐๐ง rug we proudly present alongside it.
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
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐ฐ๐ผ
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
