Description
This vintage Qashqai Mafrash is a beautiful and authentic example of tribal utility art, woven by the nomadic Qashqai tribe of southern Iran. Historically used for storing bedding during seasonal migrations, the Mafrash (or bedding box) is now admired for its rich cultural value and visual appeal.
The kilim panels are a standout feature, displaying vibrant color combinations and traditional tribal motifs—each symbol and pattern reflecting elements of Qashqai life, nature, and identity. These handwoven textiles transform a practical object into a piece of woven storytelling.
A particularly rare and desirable feature is the presence of the original leather handles and fastening straps, still intact and functional. This level of preservation not only highlights the durability of the materials but also adds to its authenticity and collectible value.
Today, Mafrash pieces are highly sought after by interior designers and collectors alike. They’re frequently used as storage benches, decorative trunks, or even coffee tables, effortlessly blending tribal artistry with contemporary interiors. This piece brings warmth, heritage, and color into any living space.
