What is a rug fragment?

A rug fragment is a surviving portion of an antique textile that has lost its original complete format through age, wear, or intentional separation. These pieces allow collectors to own authentic tribal art with genuine patina at a more accessible scale than a full carpet.

How were these bags used?

Nomadic groups utilised these woven containers inside yurts for storing bedding, clothing, and domestic goods during seasonal migrations. Faces were often cut from larger damaged bags to preserve the best section of tribal iconography.

How do I mount a fragment?

Textile fragments are commonly mounted on neutral fabric over a rigid backing board by a professional framer using conservation-grade stitching. This method supports the weight evenly without applying adhesives directly to the antique wool or natural fibres.

How do I tell tribal groups apart?

Tribes are identified by the specific shape and arrangement of their primary guls, secondary motifs, and minor border ornaments. For example, Tekke designs often feature precise octagonal guls with curled leaf borders, while Yomut pieces display distinct hooked motifs.
