FAQs

A torba is a small, shallow rectangular storage bag or trapping traditionally hand-woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes of Central Asia for use inside yurts.

Turkmen textiles are predominantly hand-knotted using locally sourced hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and foundation, often dyed with natural madder root and indigo.

Authentic 19th-century Saryk pieces display distinct octagonal geometric motifs known as guls, dense wool knotting, deep madder red or purplish-red tones, and finely executed geometric border designs.

A torba functions as framed or mounted wall art, bringing deep colour palette and historic texture to modern living rooms, hallways, or study spaces.

Wool textiles should be kept away from direct sunlight and damp environments, dusted gently with a soft brush, and cleaned only by specialist antique textile conservators.
