Story

How peculiar! I immediately bought this charming Malayer when a Bavarian collector offered it to me. It came with a graceful design and charming colors-- and a rather puzzling inscription in each end border .. which turned out to read ST AUSTELL PARISH. That alerted me to the rug's past history as being in a parish church, somewhere in England. Some historical digging led me to the little village of St Austell in Cornwall, famous for its 13th Century Parish Church that celebrated a 6th Century Cornish saint, St Austol, whose feast day falls on .. my birthday! Karma.

Another unique masterpiece.

What our customers say!

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 🇰🇼

 

 

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
