Description

A visually exciting bread sofreh from the Kamo area of north-central Persia, woven at the end of the 19th century.

The ground is woven in un-dyed camel-hair and the weaver has incorporated what appear like 'eyes' in beautiful natural colours of light and dark blue, ivory, green and different shades of red.

In very good original condition, this sofreh would have been used for kneading the dough to make the delicious flat-bread (lavash).

Size: 1.32 x 0.95m (4' 4" x 3' 1").

FAQs

A sofreh is a traditional woven cloth used historically in Persian households for spreading on the floor during meals, specifically for kneading dough and baking bread.

These flatweave pieces are generally constructed using hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft, often utilising slit-weave tapestry techniques characteristic of nomadic tribes.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural dyes, hand-spun wool inconsistencies, primitive tribal motifs, and authentic wear patterns indicative of domestic rural use.

Such flatweave pieces work effectively as wall hangings, small floor accents in low-traffic areas, or textured table runners to introduce warmth and heritage.

Preservation involves keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fade, vacuuming with a mesh screen attachment, and avoiding excess moisture.
