Vintage 1960's Persian Afshar Sirjan Sofreh

This striking Vintage 1960's piece from Iran, dates to the early part of the 20th century and remains in superb, original condition. The wool has beautifully matured over time, creating a rich spectrum of colors known as "Abrash." This unique effect arises from different batches of dyed wool aging at varying rates—a charm that cannot be replicated in modern rugs.
Sofreh, traditionally used by tribes for serving food within their tents, are typically small and square in both size and design. Measuring approx. 4 feet by 4 feet, this particular example is a flat-weave kilim, renowned for its durability and resilience. A true testament to Persian Tribal craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
