Description

The sofreh of Kamo were mostly woven in a squareish format and used for kneading the dough to make bread or lavash. Here we see a rare example of the dining sofreh - long and narrow format - where the tribes-people would sit around the sofreh, crosslegged, at meal-times and eat the food which was placed upon it.

The Kamo weavers created their own designs, taken from the landscape around them and this can be seen here with mountains and rivers depicted.

All the colours in the sofreh are from vegetable dyes, made during the first half of the 20th century and it is in excellent condition.

Size: 1.35 x 0.56m (4' 5" x 1' 10").

FAQs

A sofreh is a traditional woven cloth used historically in Persian households for food preparation, serving meals, or spreading on the floor during dining.

These textiles are typically crafted using hand-spun wool for the warp and weft, often dyed with natural vegetable colorants such as madder root, indigo, and walnut hulls.

Authenticity is evaluated through examining natural dye variations, hand-spun yarn irregularities, traditional tribal motifs, and the overall wear and structural integrity of the flatweave.

Such pieces can be displayed as wall hangings to protect the fabric, utilised as table runners, or placed on low-traffic floors to add texture and historical depth to a room.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and professional cleaning when necessary.
