FAQs

A chuval is a large storage bag traditionally woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes in Central Asia to store household goods inside a yurt, with the decorative front panel referred to as the chuval face.

These textiles were hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for the pile, warp, and weft, utilising natural plant and insect dyes to produce rich shades of madder red, navy blue, and brown.

Authentic pieces exhibit dense hand-knotted wool construction, geometric tribal heraldic emblems called guls arranged in structured grids, and a palette dominated by deep red hues.

A chuval panel can be mounted on a wall as framed fibre art, placed flat on a surface as an accent textile, or displayed over upholstery in traditional and eclectic interiors.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to prevent colour loss, vacuum gently without a rotary brush head, maintain low humidity, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning.
