Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World

$2,900.00

This exceptionally rare early 20th-century Persian Baluch Tribal Sofreh Kilim is a highly collectible piece of authentic tribal artistry. Handwoven by the Baluch tribes of Southeast Persia, this desirable square-format kilim was traditionally crafted for personal, ceremonial use rather than for trade, making surviving examples particularly scarce.
The kilim features a deep dark brown (chocolate) field accented by a geometric dark red border and detailed with intricate soumak weaving in alternating ivory and red. Made from natural organic dyes and fine handspun wool, the artistry and craftsmanship reflect the Baluch people's deep weaving heritage. Traditionally used at mealtimes to serve food, this kilim was carefully preserved, maintaining its superb condition over time. A beautiful and functional piece of tribal weaving, this Sofreh is an extraordinary find for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of authentic antique textiles.
