ANTIQUE #SA1097735

Antique Dining Sofreh, Timuri Tribes, Borderlands Of North-east Persia / North-west Afghanistan.

£1,450    $1,882    €1,722
This rare and unusual small dining sofreh with its ivory woollen ground, appears to incorporate a very stylised tree pattern. Made during the third quarter of the nineteenth century by Timuri tribes in the borderlands between north-eastern Persia and north-western Afghanistan, it is in excellent condition.
 
Note the zig-zag borders all the way round the sofreh, symbolising the eternal cycle of life.
 
Dining sofrehs or flat-weaves, were made to be laid out on the floor of the tent during mealtimes when the tribes-people would sit around, crosslegged, and eat from the sofreh.
 
Size: 90cm x 40cm (3'' 0'' x 1'' 4'').
