FAQs

A mafrash is a large storage bag traditionally used by nomadic Shahsavan tribes in northwestern Persia to transport belongings during migration, with individual panels often preserved as decorative flatweave textiles today.

Soumak involves a hand-wrapped flatweave technique using handspun wool weft threads wrapped over warp threads, often supplemented by natural dyed yarns to create a durable structure with a textured face.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit handspun wool, traditional natural dyes with subtle abrash variations, characteristic geometric tribal motifs, and hand-finished edges consistent with nineteenth-century nomadic production.

These versatile textile panels are frequently mounted and framed as wall art, used as small accent mats, or repurposed as cushion covers to introduce texture, colour, and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping textiles away from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, regular gentle vacuuming with mesh protection, and avoiding excessive moisture or chemical cleaning agents.
