Minimalist vintage Bakhtiari Sofreh Kilim
This Bakhtiari sofreh kilim is a traditional flat-weave textile, originally used for bread making. Woven by hand using undyed white wool, it features a clean, minimalist central field that brings a calm and natural feel to any space.
The kilim is framed by a deep blue border, offering a strong contrast to the pale center. Two of the borders are further detailed with colorful chevron-style patterns, incorporating traditional tribal motifs in red, green, yellow, and blue. These subtle decorative elements add a touch of character and warmth without overwhelming the design.
Its simple, natural palette combined with bright accents makes this kilim especially suited for a child’s bedroom—soft underfoot, easy to maintain, and visually interesting.

Sofrehs take their name from the Farsi (Persian) word for cloth and are used for several functions connected with preparing and eating food. Eating cloths are normally referred to simply as sofrehs and vary enormously in size-from small, rectangular mats for personal use to extremelly long, narrow runners for communal eating. They are woven in several standard techniques, including alternating bands of kilim and pile rug, and produced by a number of nomadic and tribal weavers in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and to a lesser degree, elsewhere.
