This beautiful vintage Sofreh originates from northeast Iran, where such textiles have long played an essential role in daily life. Traditionally used as a floor cloth for dining, Sofrehs were placed on the ground for families to sit around and share meals—a practice rooted in communal warmth and hospitality.
Finely woven with impressive attention to detail, this piece stands out for its delightful array of animal motifs, including peacocks, birds, and goats, all artfully spread across the surface. These motifs are not only decorative but also hold symbolic meaning in Persian tribal culture, representing abundance, protection, and beauty in nature.
Though originally utilitarian, this Sofreh is versatile in modern interiors—its size and fine craftsmanship make it ideal for use as a hallway runner, table runner, or even as wall art in curated spaces.
The textile’s heritage, narrative richness, and balance of function and ornamentation make it a charming and authentic piece of nomadic Iranian culture.

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.

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…
