A rare mid-century Qashqai Kilim from 1940s Iran, this hand-woven sofreh rug showcases vivid cobalt-blue and crimson stripes framing a sandy beige field. The lightweight wool-on-cotton flatweave delivers authentic tribal geometry, making it perfect as a floor accent, wall hanging, or table throw in modern rustic spaces.
Woven by Qashqai nomads in southwest Iran circa 1940, this sofreh reflects ceremonial cloth traditions used for sharing bread. Each generation preserved angular motifs and bold striped colour-blocking that symbolise protection and abundance, making the piece both a functional textile and a slice of tribal history.
This square 128 × 116 cm flatweave features alternating beige, blue and red bands, edged by narrow green and navy borders with diamond guard stripes. Zig-zag “fingers” bite into the neutral centre, creating kinetic movement that suits eclectic, bohemian or minimalist spaces needing a colour pop.
Vacuum with a brushless head weekly. Spot clean with pH-neutral soap and cool water; blot, don’t rub. Keep out of prolonged sunlight to prevent dye fade. Roll (never fold) in breathable cotton when storing. Have a specialist clean every 2 years to maintain fibre strength.
Hand-woven on a horizontal loom with naturally dyed wool weft over sturdy cotton warp. The flat-woven structure is lightweight yet durable, prized for its reversible usability. Crisp colour transitions show expert tension control, while the matte wool surface offers gentle texture underfoot and an authentic artisanal finish.
This exquisite runner originates from Persia (modern-day Iran), a region renowned for its centuries-old rug-making traditions. Handwoven in the 1950s, this rug embodies the rich history of Persian craftsmanship, where artisans pass down their skills through generations. Over time, it has developed a beautiful patina, enhancing its vintage appeal while preserving the durability and character that make Persian rugs highly sought after.
Featuring a classic medallion pattern, this rug is an embodiment of Persian traditional artistry. Its symmetrical floral motifs and intricate geometric detailing add a sense of harmony and balance. The deep navy, red, and multicolor hues create a bold yet sophisticated look, complementing rustic, classic, or modern interiors. The elongated runner shape makes it ideal for hallways, staircases, or narrow living areas, adding warmth and texture to any space.
To preserve the beauty of this vintage piece, vacuum gently with a low-suction setting to remove dust and debris. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight to prevent color fading, and rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear. In case of spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth—avoid harsh chemicals. Professional hand-washing or dry cleaning is recommended every few years to maintain its original charm.
Hand-knotted by skilled Persian artisans, this rug is made from premium wool and cotton, ensuring both softness and durability. The hand-knotting technique, taking months to complete, results in a dense, long-lasting weave that withstands the test of time. The natural wool fibers provide insulation and resilience, while the cotton foundation ensures flexibility. Every knot and motif reflects the artistry and cultural heritage of Persian rug-making traditions.
