Grandiose and majestic, this delectable Serapi is a true best-of-type antique carpet that is equally decorative and collectible. The field beams in its creamy ivory tones. There is a beautiful range of blue dyes, which we see in the hexagonal medallion. Stark midnight blue and crisp turquoise highlight one another magnificently. Elsewhere, we see curling sax leaves in a pretty emerald green and shades of apricot, pink and chamois.
Most excellent condition. One for the ages.
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
“I 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. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
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 🇱🇧
