This rare and highly collectible mid-20th-century Persian Sofreh tribal kilim is a stunning example of authentic Qashqai craftsmanship from Southwest Persia. Traditionally woven for personal use rather than for trade, Sofreh kilims are exceptionally scarce, and this near-square format is particularly sought after by collectors and designers alike. Woven from handspun wool and dyed using natural organic dyes, this exquisite kilim features a rich combination of brown, navy, pink, and pale yellow tones. Historically, Sofreh kilims served as communal dining cloths during meals, carefully preserved and rarely subjected to foot traffic, resulting in outstanding condition even after decades of use. This beautifully woven piece captures the vibrant cultural heritage of the Qashqai tribes and offers a timeless, versatile accent for sophisticated interiors.
