Delightful antique Baluch with glorious natural dyes, wonderfully lustrous wool and a very soft texture. One of the best tribal rugs I’ve sourced this year.
The snowflake ❄️ lozenges nearly fit into the beautifully laid out lattice netting. Very attractive and very appealing.
The oxidised walnut brown lend a lovely 3D effect to the pile. The blue is excellent.
Full pile, complete end kilims, zero damage
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 🇱🇧
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait 🇰🇼
