Antique Uzbek 'Julkyrs / Dschulchir' Yurt Rug, Woven in 4 Strips, Circa 1900/20.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 13ft 4in x 8ft 2in (406 x 250cm).

Antique Uzbek yurt rug, known as Julkyrs or Dschulchir rugs; commonly called bearskin rugs.

Circa 1900/20.

These rugs woven by the nomads of Uzbekistan were for use on the floor of the family yurt. The long soft pile made them comfortable under foot, and they are often referred to as sleeping rugs; similar to the gabbeh rugs of southern Persia. The rugs were woven on simple narrow looms in long strips, these were then joined together to make the rug.

This example is of very large size and has a traditional design of large guls containing stars, and is woven in four long strips. The bold design and bright colour palette would stand out well in the poorly lit yurt, bringing warmth and comfort to the interior.

The rug is in excellent condition with slight even wear and good long pile.

The rug is suitable for heavy domestic use such as an entrance hall or living room.

For published example see: Adil Besim, Myth and Mysticism, Uzbek and Kyrgyz Textile Art, The Breuss Collection, Volume 6; Gerhard M. Dienes, Helmut Reinisch, 2000 and 1 e Night, Carpets and Textiles from Private Collections.

Stock Number: D-0314.

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

A Julkyrs or Dschulchir is a traditional long-pile wool carpet woven by nomadic Central Asian tribes, historically created to insulate and decorate yurt interiors.

These carpets are hand-spun from sheep wool and crafted on narrow portable looms. The textile is woven in multiple long vertical strips, which are subsequently hand-stitched together side-by-side to create a wider rug.

Authentic examples feature hand-spun wool, natural dye variations known as abrash, loose long-pile hand knotting, and visible vertical joining seams resulting from narrow loom construction.

The geometric motifs and deep colour palette complement minimalist, bohemian, or mid-century spaces by providing floor texture and visual interest.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, rotate periodically to ensure even wear, clear spills immediately with a damp cloth, and use professional specialist cleaning when required.
