Story

Most excellent, most impressive, most charming.

An intact Malayer from the 1800s in perfect condition and irresistible beauty. What is most appealing instantaneously is the ivory colored plain field, with undyed wool and full of Sufi mystical connotations. It complements the reds of the motifs (with indigo detailing) especially when you notice the plain white strips either side of the main border.

This handsome design is called ๐’๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ฏ๐š๐ซ๐ข due to the crenellated undulations of the medallion, resembling a samovar tea pot. Most attractive.

The size is somewhat larger than usual, a so called ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ-๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฉ. All perfect condition with full pile and full end kilims and fringes.

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ป

 

 

โ€œYou donโ€™t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... Itโ€™s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!โ€ Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ

 

As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ
