Wild Sugar Dance Thingโ mega tribal rug acting as a dance floor for a funky group of tribal motifs! A terrific example from one of the most collectible tribal rug types.
This belle is in mint condition with ravishing, radiant vegetable dyes. I love antique tribal rugs with that dramatic sense of flow and dynamism.
The Shekarlu are a high ranking clan of the Qashqai tribe are named after sugar (shekar), an exotic substance in medieval times. Their name means โsugar peopleโ which suggests they had prestigious access to this rare substance. The sweetness has certainly inspired their rugs!
Perfect condition

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!

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
To me personally there is no surprise, event or frankly anything that gets me more excited than the purchase of a treasured piece of understated artwork such as that of a proper vintage/antique carpet. The sourcing, grading and authentication of these pieces is no small task but is of the highest importance. Through the respected dealer Hadi Maktabi all that is guaranteed, and rest assured the one thing I can guarantee personally as a client is a first class service from the initial selection process till it gets delivered right to your door step. It was an undeniably special experience, with hundreds of carpets to choose from, will definitely be visiting again. Thank you dear Hadi. Habeeb Al Monawer, Kuwait ๐ฐ๐ผ
