ABOUT THIS PIECE
Handwoven Sofreh, woven By Afshar nomads inhabiting the mountains of Kerman province, Woven using locally sourced handspun wool and all-natural dyes, in beautiful Abrash Colours. Sofrehs are unique square-shaped flat weave pieces made for bread preparation and storage by Persian nomads and villagers. Cotton Sofrehs were generally used for dough storage and preparation while thick and tightly woven woollen Sofrehs were used to store cooked flatbread, and as a spread for meals. Each Sofreh was woven for personal or family use and is the result of weaver’s unique artistic expression, making Sofreh’s highly desirable items for collectors.
SPECIFICATIONS
How it sits in your room.
170 × 175 CM (5'7" × 5'9"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
Small beside a 3-seater sofa. It suits a reading corner, under an armchair or across an entry better than a sofa setting.
Only 28 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Narrower than a queen bed, so it sits across the foot of the bed, tucked 20 cm under. A pair of runners either side is the other way to dress a bed this size.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
