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.
Dimensions: 3’ 4” x 5’ 1″
Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s
Place of Origin: Persia
Material: Wool pile on a wool foundation with organic vegetable dyes
Condition: Wear consistent with age and use

Japanese Meiji Riverside Scroll Painting, c. 1900

This exquisite hanging scroll demonstrates the preference for soft layering of gray tones with judicious use of color. The landscape is rendered in soft ink washes that subtly distinguish between water, mountain, and sky. The scroll painting...

Vintage Persian Shahsavan Soumak Saddle Blanket in Terracotta, Ivory, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautiful Soumak horse blanket from Northwest Persia is a captivating example of tribal weaving—where artistry, utility, and cultural storytelling converge. Woven over a century ago, this piece features a free-form design that reflects not only the weaver’s creative spirit but also the natural and social world in which they lived.
Each element woven into this textile speaks of a life deeply rooted in tradition, movement, and survival. Originally created for functional use—as a horse blanket, saddlebag, or part of a mafrash (bedding bag)—this piece now carries forward its legacy as a decorative artifact full of meaning and authenticity.
With its rich textures, handwoven Soumak technique, and tribal motifs, it invites the viewer on a journey to distant lands, evoking the rhythms of nomadic life and the enduring artistry of Persian village and tribal cultures.
Today, what once served a utilitarian purpose has become a timeless design element—adding character, history, and warmth to interiors ranging from bohemian and eclectic to traditional and rustic.
