One for the treasure chest. An instant favorite.
This latest find of mine shoots straight into the top of my all time charts. It sure is tiny but boy does it pack a whole lotta punch into its sweet little body.
Farahan Poshti with silk lions π¦ silk horses π silk dogs π silk deer π¦ with long long antlers, and silk lotus πͺ· flowers emanating from a silk lined vase πΊ
Delicious color palette π¨ with a handsome field of undyed, naturally colored wool and a truly electric β‘οΈ electrifying metallic blueβ howβd they dye that?
The best thing is the ultra plush wool quality and extra soft weave. It has incredible age. One of my favourite buys in a long time.

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
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 π±π§
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 π°πΌ
