Antique Bread Sofreh, Afshar Nomads, Kerman Province, ...
Item Ref
BM/Sofreh
The bread sofreh, as the name implies, was used for kneading the dough to prepare the bread for baking. The weaver had the freedom to create her own art and this sofreh, with its 'zig zag' design, probably represents flowing water - one of the necessities in nomadic life or even in life as a whole. I love this incredible weaving, woven by an Afshar woman during the early 20th century, displaying true nomadic woven art. It will be exhibited at the opening of the up-coming LARTA London Battersea Fair from 21st - 26th January.
Size: 1.00 x 1.00m (3' 3" x 3' 3")

Antique Kilim, Qashqa'i Nomads, Fars Province, South-West ...
Item Ref
Here we see an early kilim woven by Qashqa'i nomads during the third quarter 19th century - maybe even mid 19th century. The soft vegetable-dye palette is elegant with a field of 'eyes' disappearing under the protective borders and out into infinity. I have to say, this is probably my favourite Qashqa'i kilim. Truly superb in every way.
Size: 2.60 x 1.60m (8' 6" x 5' 3").

Kilims were woven to provide privacy inside the black tents by hanging them to make rooms and also to cover bedding stacked around the circumference of the black tent during sedentary periods.

Item Ref
A striking kilim woven by Qashqa'i nomads during the last quarter of the 19th century.
These kilims were specifically woven for compartmentalising the black-tent, providing privacy for men, women, children and guests. Another use was to cover the bedding stacked around the circumference of the tent during sedentary periods. Today, these kilims provide a highly decorative and minimalistic look on wooden floors.
