Antique Torba, Salor Turkmen Tribes, Turkmenistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

This extremely rare torba or wedding trapping was made by the Salor Turkmen during the 18th century. The Salor tribe were the most powerful and aristocratic tribe until their virtual anihilation by the Persian Qajars around 1834. After this heavy defeat, the surviving Salors moved away from the Merv area to the Mangashlik peninsula where their weaving almost came to an end. Therefore today, Salor weaving is probably the most desirable and highly collectable weavings in the world and, as one might imagine, extremely rare. This is a beautiful example of Salor work in almost complete condition.

Size: 1.25m x 0.51m (4' 1" x 1' 8").
