A stunning example from the Ottoman Baroque Period, this gorgeous rug has a large garland of roses in the center and four bouquets of flowers at the corners, all floating on a heart ♥️ stopping red field. Beautiful! The border is also flowery and has no minor guard stripes nor any straight lines. It's a real pity they didn't do many of these but it makes this baby so much more precious and important.
Purchasing carpets from Hadi Maktabi was the epitome of professionalism and joy. Hadi is an expert curator, purveyor, historian and story teller. His passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise are evident every step of the way. With a wide range of choices and prices, prompt service, and fast sipping, we had our carpets in Sydney in a matter of days. The ultimate flying carpet experience! Zeina Tebbutt, Sidney, Australia 🇦🇺
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
