What is a bread sofreh?

A bread sofreh is a flatwoven cloth traditionally used by nomadic groups for food preparation, serving, and wrapping bread. These textiles were laid on the ground during meals, requiring durable flatweave construction to withstand daily use.

How do I care for an antique tribal bag?

Antique tribal bags require gentle maintenance such as regular light vacuuming without a rotating brush. Keep them away from direct sunlight to protect the natural dyes and avoid humid environments to preserve the wool and cotton fibres.

Where were these textiles made?

These pieces originate from the Kerman Province in South Persia, created by regional groups such as the Afshar nomads. Specific sub-regions include Neiriz, Bardsir, and the Jebal Barez mountains where local tribes maintained distinct weaving traditions.

A chanteh is a small personal storage pouch or vanity bag made by tribal artisans for individual use. Despite their compact size, these pieces often exhibit the same careful geometric ornamentation found on larger rugs.
