Vintage Sofreh - 1.1 x 1.1 m is a traditional flat-weave rug crafted by the Afshar Tribe of Sirjan in Persia around 1960. This authentic Sofreh reflects the rich heritage of Persian tribal weaving, designed originally for practical use such as bread-making, food preservation, and as a floor spread for meals.
The rug showcases a distinctive central square motif framed by loose zigzag patterns, with delicate small rosettes adorning its border. Tassels embellish each of the four corners, adding to its rustic charm. The colour palette features natural Abrash variations, created by vegetable dyes applied in traditional tribal dyeing vessels. These subtle shifts in hue produce unique, striking stripes that cannot be replicated.
Measuring 1.1 by 1.1 metres, this compact Sofreh is versatile for contemporary spaces. It can serve as a decorative tablecloth on dining or coffee tables, or as an eye-catching textile accent in your home or office. Its wool construction and organic dyes ensure authenticity and quality characteristic of vintage Persian kilims.
As a one-of-a-kind collectible, this Sofreh offers both historical value and aesthetic appeal. It’s ideal for those seeking to incorporate genuine tribal craftsmanship and timeless design into their interiors.
