Story

An intact pair of antique nomadic tribal bags with an eye catching pattern of marauding quadrupeds, four-legged beasts that seem to be antelopes or wild deer and are embroidered in using challenging sumakh technique.

Numerous factors make them exceedingly rare:

- the perfect condition
- the remarkable survival as a pair
- the complete kilim back
- the ivory ground
- the lappet closures
- the range of natural dyes
- the presence of animal figures
- the stark early age
- the stunningly fine quality of weave

Supremely collectible and super rare.

What our customers say!

“You 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 🇦🇺

 

 

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 🇱🇧

 

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 🇭🇰
