Sorfeh or Surfeh, a flat-woven cloth for making, eating, and storing bread, is small (3’ x 3’) or (3’ x 9’) Kilim format rugs that used by nomadic and tribal people in Iran like Afshar, Bakhtiari, Shahsavan, Qashqai, Baluch or Luri. The Sorfeh usually have zigzag motifs and penetrating two sides of a plain, madder red or camelhair field. The borders are frequently of soumak or knotted work, and these delicate techniques perfectly complement the plain ground. It is very hard to find authenticate real Sorfeh especially antique ones. The real ones they end up in high-end gallery in Europe or the US. The other place in Iran that you may find some original antique Sorfeh is street name Manochari that is center of all the antique dealers. The price is depend on the coloration and the age and how customer looks like. Thank You *Follow Ups: | Post a Followup |
