Story

Arguably the finest rugs of the 19th century are the silk foundation Senneh group. Their finesse and remarkable quality are unparalleled to the extent that they are compared to shawls and other fine textiles. It also means that very few of them survive intact over 150 years.

Almost all silk base Senneh carpets are in 𝘨𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦 size averaging 190 cm in length. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘩 specimens that reach 2.5 meters are once in a lifetime pieces. This is such a masterpiece.

It is very sweet in all possible ways. The 𝘔𝘢𝘩𝘪 pattern is executed with impressive detailing in a quasi microscopic manner. We think we see 4 separate layers of design but in truth they are all the same 𝘔𝘢𝘩𝘪 pattern tiling the field but the sections are separated by clever coloring and contouring.

Perfect condition, extant and full end kilim with extravagant original ends. Another collector's gem.

J’ai fait la connaissance de Hadi lors de la préparation de l’exposition « L’Empire des roses, chefs-d’œuvre de l’art persan du 19ème siècle » qui a eu lieu au Louvre-Lens en 2018 et à laquelle il a participé par le prêt de tapis exceptionnels. J’avais alors été impressionnée par ses connaissances et sa passion pour les tapis orientaux. Cette rencontre a marqué le début d’une collaboration riche et fructueuse. Elle a notamment permis au musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac de voir ses collections iraniennes s’enrichir de plusieurs tapis et tentures dont certains n’ont pas leur équivalent dans les musées occidentaux. Ce que j’apprécie chez Hadi ? C’est son professionnalisme, son dynamisme et l’engouement qu’il a pour son métier ! Hana Chidiac, Curator of the Middle East Department at the Musee Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac, Paris, France 🇫🇷

 

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 🇰🇼
