On my quest to find you the awesomest antique rugs in the world, I bring you this:
The largest Millefleurs Kashkuli carpet on record thatโs also signed by the Qashqai khan (tribal chief) who commissioned it + date of creation!
It was made for Khosrow Khan Qashqai in the year 1321 (1903) ๐ฎ
In the unique size format 3 x 2 meters;
Wool pile on wool foundation in that sturdy Kashkuli weave;
With glorious natural dyes โ especially a brilliant blue, gorgeous green and radiant red.
The handsomely large size creates a more expansive and much more expressive garden layout, with bolder motifs and higher artistic depth to them both individually and as a whole.
Available + collectible on a supremely high level. Please DM for price.
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 ๐ญ๐ฐ
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!

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 ๐ฑ๐ง
