Antique Ersari Kizil Ayak Turkmen 9 Gul Chuval Face, Circa 1900.

1900 - 1920
Description

Size: 4ft 10in x 2ft 9in (148x 85cm).

Antique Ersari Kizil Ayak Turkmen chuval face, of 9 gul format.

Circa 1900.

A Kizil Ayak chuval face, (the back has been removed). Chuval were large storage bags used by the nomads to store goods in; and place around the inside of the yurt, they were also used on the backs of camels to transport goods.

The chuval is of the 9 gul format, with nine large chuval guls on a warm madder red ground. The secondary gul is the Kizil Ayak 'tshemtshe' gul. The main border features the Kizil Ayak ram's horn & star or 'gotshak' design. The elem panel at the base is decorated with two rows of a variant of the Turkmen tree.

The chuval face is in excellent condition with very slight even wear and good pile, as can be seen in the images the chuval face is slightly narrower in the middle.

The chuval is suitable for normal domestic use and would make an attractive small rug.

Stock Number: DS-0678.

This antique Turkmen Ersari Kizil Ayak chuval face dates from circa 1900. It is a wool textile featuring nine geometric gul motifs set against a terracotta red ground, complemented by geometric borders and fringe edging at both ends. The design incorporates repeating latch-hook patterns, a madder red tone, and dark blue and white details within the central medallions. The piece has a low pile with slight even wear, and measures 148 cm high by 85 cm wide and 1 cm deep. Nomads originally used these storage bag faces inside yurts or on camel backs to transport goods. Today, this rectangular textile functions well as a small floor rug in a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. It is suitable for normal domestic use while adding traditional nomadic character and warm red colour tones to an interior scheme.

FAQs

A chuval face is the decorated front panel of a large storage bag traditionally woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes for transport and interior tent storage.

These textiles are constructed with hand-spun wool pile tied onto a wool warp and weft structure, dyed using natural plant and mineral dyes.

Authentic period examples display hand-knotted asymmetrical construction, natural dye color variations, soft handle, and specific tribal gul motifs unique to sub-tribes like the Ersari.

These woven panels can be mounted on a wall as decorative textile art, displayed draped over a bench, or used as an accent floor rug.

Vacuum gently using suction only without a rotating brush, keep away from direct sunlight, and rely on specialist textile restorers for deep cleaning.
