It is said that in the late 19th century some carpet weavers migrated from Senneh northwards to Tabriz in search of better work opportunities. The rugs they wove utilized the single weft technique of their original hometown, so the resultant (and very rare) carpets they made in Tabriz were called ππ¦π―π―π¦π© ππ’π§ meaning Senneh-weave.
This is a very decorative pair with attractive properties. Functionally speaking, for purposes of interior decor, the π±π’π³π₯π¦π© size is unusual and much demanded. The pattern is all over and ideally suited for contemporary interiors given the absence of difficult central medallion elements. The color scheme is neutral and a happy match to various ranges of furnishing color palettes. In collectibility ratings, the rugs stand out for being a pair of such a rare type, with all over design, an absence of medallions and strong reds, and for being in such glorious shape.
Perfect condition, top quality.
βI 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. Hadiβs collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.β Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia πΈπ¦
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§
As a carpet collector of 30 years, I have noticed a decline in the amount of truly unique and high quality carpets on the market. I have also noted a decline in the knowledge of merchants, generally. Hadi Maktabi stands against this trend as a both a curator for and an educator of his clients. His offerings are well-researched, museum quality carpets that are both singular and expertly chosen. In dealing with Hadi, I have experienced excellent communication, a high standard of service and extremely pleasant interactions. Warren D., Hong Kong ππ°
