One of the finest tribal rugs we have had, it ticks all the right boxes:
- extra fine weave
- generous pardeh size
- high quality natural dyes
- soft handle and plush handspun wool
- perfect condition with full pile, full fringes and complete end kilims
We see a beautiful layout with 3 medallions bearing pomegranate fruits, an ancient symbol of fertility and plentifulness. The field is lined with rows and rows of rosettes, perfectly matched in harmonious colors together. The flanks of the field have a pleasant striped design.
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
