FAQs

A mafrash is a traditional large storage bag used by nomadic tribes such as the Shahsavan in northwestern Persia to transport household belongings during migration, and the panels are often preserved as flatweave textiles.

These pieces are traditionally hand-knotted and woven using handspun sheep wool dyed with natural pigments, employing the soumak technique which creates a durable, wrapped-weft flatweave structure with a raised texture.

Authentic pieces typically feature handspun wool with natural abrash colour variations, traditional tribal geometric motifs, and genuine age-related wear along the edges and fringes.

Such textiles can be mounted and framed as wall art, displayed on a wooden bench, or used as a small accent floor covering to add texture and historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Preservation involves gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and occasional professional cleaning by a specialist in antique carpets.
