19th Century Persian Shahsavan Mafrash Tribal Cargo Bag Panel
Located in Barrington, IL
An exceptional 19th-century Persian Shahsavan Mafrash, this rare and collectible tribal cargo bag panel showcases the artistry and utility of nomadic craftsmanship. Traditionally used by the Shahsavan tribes during seasonal migrations to transport household belongings, Mafrash bags are celebrated for their richly woven textures, symbolic motifs, and vivid natural dyes. Unlike most examples, which feature only one surviving panel, this museum-quality piece includes both original side panels and the kilim-woven base, offering a complete and authentic glimpse into tribal life. A true connoisseur’s find, this work is a testament to the enduring beauty of Persian tribal weaving and an extraordinary decorative statement for sophisticated interiors.
Dimensions: 3’ 4” x 5’
Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s
Place of Origin: Persia

Vintage Persian Shahsavan Soumak Saddle Blanket in Ivory, Lavender, Yellow, Blue
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite Soumak horse blanket from Northwest Persia is more than just a textile—it’s a window into a weaver’s world. Created over a century ago, the blanket features a free-form, expressive design that captures the spirit of its maker and the landscape in which they lived. Every motif, color, and variation reflects a personal and cultural narrative, woven by hand with intention and artistry.
Originally woven for practical use as a horse blanket, saddlebag, or mafrash (bedding bag), this piece exemplifies the transformation of tribal utilitarian objects into timeless works of art. These items once served essential roles in nomadic village life, and today they enrich modern interiors with their depth, texture, and heritage.
A true collector’s textile, this Soumak weaving invites us to imagine the lives of those who created and used it, offering a connection to distant lands and traditions. Whether displayed as wall art, draped over furniture, or thoughtfully layered into an interior space, it brings history, craftsmanship, and storytelling into the home.
Dimensions: 3’ 3” x 4’ 4”
Date of Manufacture: 2nd Quarter of the 1900s

19th Century Persian Shahsavan Soumak Mafrash Tribal Cargo Bag Panel
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite 19th-century Persian Shahsavan Soumak Mafrash is a rare and highly collectible example of tribal textile artistry. Mafrash, traditionally large carrying bags woven by nomadic tribes, were used to transport household belongings during seasonal migrations. Among these, Shahsavan Soumak Mafrash pieces are some of the most sought-after in the world of tribal weaving—prized for their intricate soumak technique, vibrant natural dyes, and symbolic geometric designs.
Unlike most examples that survive with only a single panel, this remarkable piece retains both original side panels and the flat-woven kilim base, offering a more complete and authentic representation of the original form. Rich in cultural significance and visual impact, this textile is a true masterpiece of nomadic craftsmanship—perfect for connoisseurs, collectors, or interior designers seeking a striking and storied accent for sophisticated spaces.
