About the Item

Afshar Tribal Sofreh, Mid-20th Century, 4'2" x 3'11", Brick Red and Polychrome Wool, Kilim Rug, Decorative Wall-Hanging Origin: Afshar tribal, southwestern Asia Circa: Mid-20th century Type: Sofreh (dining textile/flatweave), tribal kilim, flatweave rug Materials: Wool, naturally dyed; supplemental embroidery Dimensions: 4'2" x 3'11" (128 x 120 cm, or 50 x 47 inches) Condition: Excellent This midcentury Afshar tribal sofreh measures 4’2” x 3’11” (128 x 120 cm, or 50 by 47 inches) and features a brick-red abrash field and multicolored nested borders in lively, lightning bolt zig-zag patterns. The expert natural dyes and master weaving lends the piece a thick, sturdy handle and harmonious palette. It is a highly decorative and eccentric tribal weaving suited to floor use, as a wall-hanging with abstract graphic quality, as a table runner, or for the traditional haft-seen. The kilim is a study in polychromatic weaving with a free hand. It features a central field in brick red, with abrash that subtly shifts along a spectrum from orange to deep crimson around a cross motif at center. This is surrounded by a Chefchaouen-blue inner border and a main border with zig-zags motifs in a rainbow of pastel colors: red, cinnamon brown, taupe, gold, rose pink, and robin’s-egg blue. A wide outer border in cool steel grey brings encloses the composition, finished with supplemental embroidery. The pastel tonality and high quality of the natural dyestuffs allow the full range of colors to sit in conversation with one another without tipping into the gaudy. Small rugs spread out and used for dining, sofrehs are eccentric and personal household artifacts that served as the focal points of mealtime gatherings. They are often colorful and pictorial in design. Their modest size makes them excellent area rugs, particularly in kitchens and dining areas. Condition and Use The rug is in excellent condition. Its nearly square format makes it equally suited for use as a small accent rug, a wall-hanging, or its spread beneath the haft-seen table at Nowruz.
