Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs & Carpets has dated this piece to the 1870s.

Chuvals or storage-bags were usually made in pairs and carried clothing and other personal belongings on the flanks of the camels during migrations. This chuval lost its flatwoven back a long time ago as well as the outer 'birds-heads' border on the sides only, where new selvedges have been added. Otherwise it is in excellent pile throughout.
This beautiful piece needs to be seen to appreciate the wonderful colour of madder-red which photos often don't do any justice to!
Size: 1.07m x 0.79m (3' 6" x 2' 7").
