It is said that in the late 19th century some carpet weavers migrated from Senneh northwards to Tabriz in search of better work opportunities. The rugs they wove utilized the single weft technique of their original hometown, so the resultant (and very rare) carpets they made in Tabriz were called ππ¦π―π―π¦π© ππ’π§ meaning Senneh-weave.
This is a very decorative pair with attractive properties. Functionally speaking, for purposes of interior decor, the π±π’π³π₯π¦π© size is unusual and much demanded. The pattern is all over and ideally suited for contemporary interiors given the absence of difficult central medallion elements. The color scheme is neutral and a happy match to various ranges of furnishing color palettes. In collectibility ratings, the rugs stand out for being a pair of such a rare type, with all over design, an absence of medallions and strong reds, and for being in such glorious shape.
Perfect condition, top quality.
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 π°πΌ
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 π±π»
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 π±π§
