This is the finest Qashqai I have had. Dazzling beauty & incredible quality. The best always for my dear clients.
This is the most exclusive group of Kashkuli rugs woven in the 1800s on the private looms of the tribal Khans. Variants survive but this masterpiece is recently discovered & hitherto unpublished, 1 of the 3 best that are unknown. The other 2 shattered auction records when they sold in recent decades.
The finest possible weave.
The most excellent natural dyes.
The absolute best condition.
Full pile, full locked kilim end, full original fringes.
A delight to hold and a joy to behold.
Highest collectibility level.
A once in a lifetime opportunity.
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 🇦🇺
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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
