29 X 70cm 18th Century Salor Turkoman Chuval Fragment

18th century
Description

The best of the best! Just a small morsel survives of this wonderful 18th century chuval (large transport sack) but what great power it has. The Salor are well known as the Turkoman tribe that produced the most magical trappings and are cherished by collectors and dealers alike. Very few complete examples exist so even little pieces are appreciated, as even though this is perhaps 20% of the original it carries 100% of the star power. Finely woven with excellent pile height, typical magenta silk details in the guls and heavily depressed warp.

11.5" x 2'4"

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.
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.
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.

A chuval is a large traditional storage bag woven by nomadic Turkoman tribes across Central Asia for transporting goods and furnishing yurt interiors.

Turkoman textiles are typically hand-knotted using locally sourced sheep wool for both the pile and foundation, coloured with natural plant and insect dyes.

Authentic Salor pieces feature fine asymmetrical knotting open to the left, deep cochineal or madder red grounds, and distinct primary gol motifs with precise geometry.

Textile fragments are frequently custom-framed under protective UV glass to display as framed wall art or mounted on neutral fabric backings in contemporary spaces.

Keep wool fragments away from direct sunlight and high humidity, ensure adequate protection from moths, and consult a specialist conservator for gentle maintenance.
