Maffrash Shahsaven - Persia. Circa 1880. 120 X 55 X 45 Cm

Extraordinary Maffrash Shahsaven from Persia. The Maffrash are the largest carrying bags used by the nomadic populations of Persia and the Caucasus. They were transported in pairs on the back of a dromedary. A true work of art, this one is entirely embroidered in wool on wool. The refinement of the embroidery is absolutely remarkable, the patterns are precise, they seem sculpted in the material... The colors, 100% vegetable are breathtaking, their brilliance, their luminosity, their freshness are all a pleasure for the eye. Circa 1880 Very good condition, 2 restorations Dim: 120 x 55 x 45 cm This type of object can easily be displayed as a chest, coffee table or transformed into a two-seater seat.
