Vintage Qashqai Sofreh Kilim
This exquisite vintage Qashqai sofreh features a stunning display of abrash, with subtle color changes across the main field, likely crafted from camel wool. The natural variation in tone adds a remarkable depth and warmth to the piece.
The center of the kilim is beautifully neutral, minimal, and elegant, creating a calming effect.

A charming detail to note is the three little “+” motifs at the bottom, adding a touch of unique character to this already captivating piece.

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.
