Description
Absolutely stunning and one of the finest knotted chuvals of the Sariq Turkmen who inhabited the Yolatan Oasis during and prior to the nineteenth century. This beautiful 'chuval' (storage-bag), contains nine Sariq 'guls' or tribal crests on a glowing madder-red ground and with the extra panels, top and bottom, of dancing ladies! The last photo shows just how amazingly fine the knots are and this is certainly one of the very best Sariq chuvals I have had the great pleasure to own for many years and now time to be passed on to an equally deserving collector or lover of great Turkmen pieces! Like all nineteenth century and earlier rugs and weavings, photos can never give them full justice. When they are handled and caressed, these weavings show 'their true colours'! Made circa 1870-1880 and in great complete condition, this chuval is beautiful and very collectible.
Size: 1.40m x 0.95m (4' 7" x 3' 1").
