Vintage Square-Size Persian Sofreh Tribal Kilim in Brown, Navy, Pink, Yellow

About the Item

This rare and highly collectible mid-20th-century Persian Sofreh tribal kilim is a stunning example of authentic Qashqai craftsmanship from Southwest Persia.

Woven from handspun wool and dyed using natural organic dyes, this exquisite kilim features a rich combination of brown, navy, pink, and pale yellow tones. Historically, Sofreh kilims served as communal dining cloths during meals, carefully preserved and rarely subjected to foot traffic, resulting in outstanding condition even after decades of use. This beautifully woven piece captures the vibrant cultural heritage of the Qashqai tribes and offers a timeless, versatile accent for sophisticated interiors.
