Fragment of a Maffrash - Shahsavan, Persia
Circa 1880 - 140 x 110 cm
This magnificent 19th-century Maffrash fragment perfectly illustrates the elegance of Persian tribal weaving.
Its balanced arrangement of horizontal bands in sober tones, enhanced by richly colored borders on a red background, lends it a striking graphic force.
Today, this rare piece retains all its decorative power and tells a unique story.
Installed on a contemporary motorcycle, it creates a bold contrast between ancestral craftsmanship and industrial design: an unexpected dialogue between nomadic past and urban present.
Its deep colors and geometric patterns find their natural place in today's interiors - proof that ancient kilims don't freeze the past: they sublimate the present.
