About Us

Iwan Maktabi specializes in antique rugs, modern carpets and bespoke pieces created in collaboration with artists and designers.

Founded in 1995 by H. Abbas Maktabi, Iwan Maktabi is a continuation of a legacy that dates back to 1926, when Hajj Hussein Maktabi, a connoisseur from Isfahan, began his journey in the world of oriental carpets and Islamic art.

Today, under the stewardship of the third generation, Iwan Maktabi seamlessly blends heritage with modernity, honoring the timeless beauty of handmade carpets while embracing the innovative potential of contemporary designs and materials.

Sustainability and fair trade lie at the heart of Iwan Maktabi’s ethos, with every handcrafted piece reflecting respect for artisans, the environment, and the craft itself.

With presence in Lebanon, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland, Iwan Maktabi has earned its place as an iconic brand, renowned for balancing artisanal know-how and modern vision.
