Story

This is a complete and single 'bird' bag from the wandering Baluchis. Unlike others that are merely bag-faces, this is a complete bag with its intact kilim woven back side. In addition it is not one of a pair of bag-faces from a double Khorjin saddle bag but a single bag in its own right. The upper end or mouth is woven in Sumakh stitch flat-weave and does not connect to a symmetrical flap. This bag would have been filled and placed on the ground of the tent as is, much like a Turkmen Chuval.

Aesthetically, we see 7 peacocks in total. The central one, silhouetted in bright red, faces the exact opposite way of the other 6 which are outlined in calm aubergine purple. A unique tribal artifact by all means,

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

 

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!
