Antique at Torba Ilgich, Lakai Uzbek Tribes, Shakrisabz, Uzbekistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

The Lakai Uzbeks were a semi-nomadic tribe, noted for their horse-breeding and fiercely independent.

They lived in what is now southern Uzbekistan and were noted for their embroideries reflecting their shamanistic roots. The symbolic motifs of swirling disks, spirals and stylised scorpions and spiders have a primal quality about them and exude a magical energy.

This beautiful late 19th century 'at torba ilgich' is very finely embroidered entirely in silk and backed with Russian printed-cotton lining and decorated with silk fringing.

Size: 58cm x 58cm (2' 0" x 2' 0").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

An At Torba or Ilgich is a traditional nomadic tribal textile bag or small hanging crafted by the Lakai people of Uzbekistan, historically utilised for storage within yurt dwellings or for ceremonial transport.

These textiles typically feature hand-spun wool and cotton structural yarns, decorated with intricate cross-stitch or chain-stitch embroidery and finished with heavy hand-knotted fringe borders.

Authentic examples exhibit natural dye tonal variation, irregular hand-spun threads, traditional geometric hook motifs, and evidence of hand-construction rather than uniform synthetic machine production.

Display the piece mounted inside a acrylic shadowbox frame, hung directly on a focal wall, or positioned above a console table to introduce colour, texture, and historical pattern.

Keep the textile positioned away from direct sunlight and high humidity, vacuum gently on a low setting using a mesh protective screen, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning.
