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.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sharifi & Co. He is an expert on carpets and kilims and clearly loves and appreciates them. His company washed, repaired and moth proofed my beautiful Uzbek kilim within a very short time. Thank you very much Sharifi & Co.
Sharon Ahern
It was a great pleasure doing business with Mr. Sharafi, he knows and loves rugs and that is reflected in the excellent work he has done restoring and repairing mine. They’re looking lovely (and I promise I’ll take good care of them!) Thank you.
Johnny Bryant
Looking for someone who specialises in cleaning persian rugs is like walking a minefield. Thank goodness I found Sharafi. I knew I was on the right track when I heard the National Trust gets their antique rugs done there. Ok no more drinking red wine on valuable heirloom…
