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 Variants survive but this masterpiece is recently discovered & hitherto unpublished, 1 of the 3 best that are unknown.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.
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 🇰🇼
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 🇱🇧
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong 🇭🇰
