Antique Qashqai Mafrash 290x165cm

The body of this Mafrash is adorned with intricately woven kilim panels, showcasing a dazzling range of vibrant colours and tribal motifs that reflect the symbolic and artistic vocabulary of Qashqai weavers. Each pattern, geometric and expressive, tells a story rooted in nomadic life, family heritage, and the natural landscapes of Iran.

A rare and valuable feature is the presence of intact original leather straps and handles—a sign of both its durability and authenticity. These structural elements were essential for transport and use, and their survival speaks to the quality of the materials and craftsmanship involved in its creation.

Today, pieces like this are often used as decorative trunks, storage chests, or low tables, bringing a sense of history, colour, and texture to any room. Whether placed in a modern space for contrast or styled in a more eclectic or bohemian interior, this Qashqai Mafrash makes a functional statement piece that honours its origins.
