Antique Turkmen Wedding-camel Trapping, Ersary Tribes, Middle Amu Darya Region, Turkmenistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

This magnificent wedding trapping has the most luxurious wool - soft and silky - the very best Turkmen quality. Made as a wedding-camel decoration and not as a storage bag, this trapping would have been part of the bride's dowry and never intended for sale. In excellent pile all over, the trapping did have a small area of damage which has been well restored. The overall design is ikat-inspired - typical of the work of the Ersary nomads in the Beshir region.

Size: 1.50m x 0.31m (4' 11" x 1' 0").

FAQs

A Turkmen camel trapping is a ceremonial textile handwoven by nomadic tribes in Central Asia, historically created to decorate camels during wedding processions and significant cultural events.

These textiles were constructed using hand-spun sheep wool for both the warp and pile, coloured using natural plant and mineral dyes to achieve rich crimson, indigo, and cream hues.

Authentic pieces feature dense hand-knotting, subtle natural dye colour variations known as abrash, traditional geometric tribal crests or gols, and dark wool selvedges along the outer edges.

These long, narrow textiles are frequently mounted as decorative wall hangings, displayed along staircases, or draped across long sideboards and console tables to add texture.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to avoid colour fading, vacuum gently without a rotary brush, and consult a professional textile conservator for cleaning and support mounting.
