How old are these textiles?

The pieces listed date from the mid-nineteenth century through to the early twentieth century. This era encompasses traditional tribal production before settled life altered weaving practices. Dates are estimated based on material wear, structural style, and wool preparation techniques. Surviving examples reflect the active nomadic culture of the period.

Where were they made?

These textiles originate from Central Asia, specifically the regions inhabited by nomadic tribes such as the Tekke, Yomut, and Ersari. Their origins span the Trans-Caspian steppes and the Amu Darya region. Weaving was tied to the seasonal movements of these groups. Each tribe developed distinct design traits and colour palettes.

How do I hang a textile?

Textiles like rug fragments and bag faces can be mounted on interior walls as art. Many owners use custom fabric sleeves or specialist mounting techniques to support the weight evenly. Avoid direct, strong sunlight to protect the natural dyes. Gentle hanging preserves the wool structure over time.
