Kamoo is a village located in the Isfahan province (central Persia) adjacent to the major cities of Kashan and Goolpaygan. The village Kamoo and many others spread out over awe inspiring geography have been made famous by the artists (mothers & daughters) who inhabit these villages who weave the most breathtaking and magnificent flat woven textiles in square sizes for different utilitarian purposes, that feature an inexhaustible repertoire of abstract designs in an array of color and geometry that rival works by Picasso and other great artists.

The different square sizes denote whether the textile will be used to make bread on (smaller sizes) or used to serve meals on (larger sizes) or used to wrap bread in to keep fresh and secure from pests.

In Persian we call these textiles: Sofreh And in honor of this extraordinary ancestral tribal art form that has captivated the imagination of collectors and home makers alike, welcome to Kamoo Gallery.
