  • SizeH 122 cm (48 in) x W 40 cm (16 in) x D 1 cm (0 in)

This antique Tekke Turkmen torba originates from the first half of the 19th century and represents a traditional tribal textile woven from wool using natural dyes. The rectangular textile displays six large octagonal guls set across a deep red field, surrounded by intricate geometric border motifs and an extensive fringe hanging along the bottom edge in alternating shades of blue and red. The weave is very fine with a soft pile, presenting historical moth damage to the top border, very slight even wear, and an open, spacious drawing style. Measuring 122 cm high, 40 cm wide, and 1 cm deep excluding tassels, the piece is designed in the classic Turkmen tribal format with a velvet-like handle and the original tassels at the lower end, though the plain weave back is absent. In a contemporary home, this textile is suited for display as a wall hanging in a gentleman's library, study, or hallway, bringing traditional geometric patterns and rich natural red and blue tones to an interior space.

FAQs

A torba is a small, rectangular woven bag face created by the Tekke tribe of Central Asia, historically used inside yurt dwellings for small item storage.

These textiles are hand-knotted using locally sourced wool yarn coloured with natural plant and mineral dyes, frequently built on a wool warp and weft foundation.

Authentic pieces exhibit dense asymmetrical knotting, a deep red or madder palette, precise geometric gul patterns, and supple handle consistent with vegetable-dyed wool.

These woven panels are commonly mounted on walls as decorative art, displayed on sideboards, or framed behind glass to protect the wool fibres.

Store in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotary brush, and consult a specialist textile restorer for washing.
