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"

This 18th-century Turkoman chuval fragment is an antique textile piece from the Salor tribe, dating to around 1750. Constructed from hand-knotted wool pile in a vibrant crimson red, the fragment displays repeating geometric octagons and Salor gol motifs rendered in contrasting dark blue, cream, and magenta silk details. It exhibits a finely woven texture with an excellent pile height and a heavily depressed warp, showing characteristic signs of age as a surviving portion of a larger transport sack with trimmed edges and visible weave structures. The item measures 70 cm high and 29 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this collectible fragment provides a distinct focal point for display on a narrow wall space in a gentleman's library or study. It functions purely as a decorative wall hanging, allowing the intricate tribal patterns and saturated red tones to be appreciated without floor placement. The piece is mounted or hung vertically to showcase the structured geometry of the surviving central guls.

FAQs

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.
