Story

Gorgeous antique Baluch 𝙉𝙖𝙒𝙖𝙠𝙙𝙖𝙣 saltbox used for storing one of the most precious commodities in the pre modern world: salt.

It's a functional artifact of powerful beauty and irrepressible charm. Note the extent of the effort the weaver went to, with each face having a radically different design.

Complete & intact with lustrous, ultra soft lambswool and deeply saturated natural dyes.

Highly collectible -- one of the best examples I have handled.

What our customers say!

β€œYou don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

 

 

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‡§

 

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
