Another recruit to the Odball Club:
Hyper fantastic antique nomadic horse cover, Qashqai confederation, dated 1343 Hijri lunar (1924-25).
It is actually woven as one piece but mimics far older horse cover rugs that came in two parts, an octagonal rear part and a recto-trapezoidal front section.
Khan-quality, woven for a tribal chief.
💯 years old and in rudely perfect health.
Collectible, rare, high class.
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 🇱🇧
“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 🇦🇺
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 🇦🇺
