Story

This is a museum quality work of Islamic art.
It is a 300 year old prayer rug from the weaving town of Kula in western Anatolia. The color palette is predominately earthy with a subtle peachy red and an eye catching Islamic green with symbolic religious resonances.

The prayer design is based around the ๐™ข๐™š๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™— prayer niche which is mirrored within the field with a wide band (containing scrolling arabesques) that curls back inwards at the base of the field, a so-called "re-entrant" movement that recalls the "Bellini" or "keyhole" prayer rugs of the 15th century.

A bold calligraphic band runs across the top of the ๐™ข๐™š๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™— arch. It presents a beautifully written rhyming couplet of Arabic poetry signifying a direct call to prayer:

ุนุฌู„ูˆุง ุจุงู„ุตู„ุงุฉ ู‚ุจู„ ุงู„ููˆุช
ูˆ ุนุฌู„ูˆุง ุจุงู„ุชูˆุจุฉ ู‚ุจู„ ุงู„ู…ูˆุช

What our customers say!

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ

 

 

โ€œI 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. Hadiโ€™s 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 ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

 

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผ
