A Study in Nomadic Minimalism
Acquiring a textile from Ariana Rugs is an investment in a 45-year lineage of connoisseurship. Serving the Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, and global design communities for over 35 years, our founder—a third-generation rug authority—personally curates every piece. This Vintage Persian Afshar Sofreh Kilim is a soulful treasure, handled with the dignity and respect that only a true master of the loom can provide.
Vibrant Artistry & The "Open Field" Design
This exquisite 3.8 x 4.0 flatweave features a lively open field red background, a design choice that prioritizes color and texture over dense patterning. Navy blue and charcoal-black tones dominate the intricate borders, creating a sophisticated frame that highlights the myriad of subtle hues within the weave. Originally used as ceremonial "bread cloths," Afshar Sofrehs are celebrated by those with a discerning eye for their robustness and their graphic, modern energy.
Architectural Adaptability for Modern Settings
At Ariana Rugs, we view this Sofreh as a high-impact architectural accent. Its manageable square size and excellent condition offer unmatched versatility for the modern collector:
-
Luxury Wall Art: The "open field" design functions beautifully as a textile painting, grounding a room with a wash of organic red.
-
Curated Flooring: Durable enough for high-traffic entryways or as a statement piece in a luxury study.
-
Organic Texture: Handwoven with 100% natural wool, it offers a tactile, "charming" appeal that anchors minimalist or eclectic interiors.
