FAQs

A torba is a small, wide, decorative bag traditionally woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes in Central Asia, used for storage inside a yurt.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool foundations and pile, coloured using natural vegetable and insect dyes derived from sources like madder root.

Authentication involves examining the natural variations in hand-spun wool, the oxidisation of dark brown or black iron-based dyes, and the irregularity of tribal knotting.

These textiles can be mounted as wall art, displayed on a console table, or used as a striking accent piece to introduce texture and heritage colour to a room.

Protect antique pile textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently without using a beater bar, and keep them in a climate-controlled environment free from excess moisture.
