Antique Bread Sofreh, Kamo, North-central Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

The bread sofrehs from the Kamo region are unique and simplistic in design and examples from the 19th century through to the early 20th century are now pretty scarce and rare.

This sofreh is woven entirely in undyed sheep wool and camel-hair and exudes a powerful presence. Made circa 1900, this sofreh would have been extensively used for kneading dough to make the flat-bread (lavash) and because of their hard, daily use, few of this age would have survived.

Size: 1.10 x 0.94m (3' 7" x 3' 1").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A sofreh is a traditional handwoven flatweave textile produced by nomadic and village weavers in Persia, historically crafted specifically for kneading dough or serving bread.

These textiles are flat-woven using hand-spun natural wool yarns, featuring undyed or naturally dyed fibres worked in simple slit-weave or plain-weave structures.

Authentic pieces display non-symmetrical tribal motifs, natural abrash tonal variations in the wool, and a practical square format intended for domestic utility.

A flatweave sofreh can be mounted as a tactile wall hanging to introduce texture to neutral spaces, placed on a table surface, or layered over larger plain floor coverings.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush attachment, protect the natural fibres from direct sunlight, and consult specialists in ethnographic textiles for professional cleaning.
