This attractive Ushak depicts the Mausoleum of Jalal Al Din Rumi in Konya. Known as Mawlana, he is the most famous Sufi teacher and the best selling poet in the world today. The Economist Magazine voted him as the most important person of the millennium in 2000. His Mevelvi brotherhood or order is still headquartered in Konya and tens of thousands flock there every year to visit. This Ottoman carpet is a faithful representation of the shrine, its facade and minarets, right down to the marble tiles and wooden carvings. Just do a Google image search and you'll find out!
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
The idea of purchasing valuable rugs and other artwork online from an overseas seller is daunting for several reasons, not least of which is the fact that, not being able to examine and feel the rug for yourself, you are never entirely certain that the origin, age or condition of the rug corresponds with the dealer’s description. For me, I could never take this step unless I had absolute trust in the integrity of the dealer, and my recent experience with Hadi confirms that my faith in him was well placed. Every detail of the antique rug expertly explained by Hadi was accurate and when I finally received the actual rug, it turned out to be even more stunning than his photos depicted. F.

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
