Mishan quality Malayers invariably and always come in caliche size. 12 sqm Malayers are incredibly rare and mostly of coarser quality. So to find a 12 meter Malayer of Mishan weave is unbelievable!
The softness and tactile plushness are seductive to the hand. The range of dye materials is extensive and superb. The border is breathtaking in its ivory tones and purple highlights. The design is as fine as you would expect with such a high knot count and excellent materials.

“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
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 🇭🇰
