FAQs

A chuval is a large, face-woven storage bag traditionally used by nomadic Turkmen tribes in Central Asia to store household belongings inside a yurt.

Authentic pieces are crafted from hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile and foundation, often utilising natural vegetable dyes derived from madder root to achieve distinct red hues.

Authenticity is determined by examining the knot density, natural colour variations in the wool, traditional tribal guls or motifs, and the presence of a plain-weave back.

These textiles work well as focal points on neutral flooring, functioning as floor art, wall hangings, or accent pieces to introduce rich texture and heritage character into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning when necessary, and keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
