This exquisite 19th-century Persian Shahsavan Soumak Mafrash is a rare and highly collectible example of tribal textile artistry. Mafrash, traditionally large carrying bags woven by nomadic tribes, were used to transport household belongings during seasonal migrations. Among these, Shahsavan Soumak Mafrash pieces are some of the most sought-after in the world of tribal weaving—prized for their intricate soumak technique, vibrant natural dyes, and symbolic geometric designs. Unlike most examples that survive with only a single panel, this remarkable piece retains both original side panels and the flat-woven kilim base, offering a more complete and authentic representation of the original form. Rich in cultural significance and visual impact, this textile is a true masterpiece of nomadic craftsmanship—perfect for connoisseurs, collectors, or interior designers seeking a striking and storied accent for sophisticated spaces.
