What are Turkmen tribal weavings?

These textiles are practical items made by nomadic and tribal groups in Central Asia, including horse covers, tent bags, and saddle rugs. Over time, collectors and interior designers adapted these functional objects to hang on walls for display.

How were these textiles used originally?

Nomadic families utilised these woven and embroidered pieces inside yurts for storage, transport, and ceremonial processions like weddings. Animals also wore specialised trappings during communal celebrations and travels across the steppes.

How do I care for a textile on the wall?

Mounting requires a supportive sleeve or professional conservation framing to distribute the weight evenly across the wool fabric. Direct sunlight and excessive moisture should be avoided to protect the natural dyes and delicate threads.
