About the Item
73316 Rare Antique Tekke Yomud Yomut Saryk Chuval Rug Bag Face 02'00 X 03'04. In the rarefied world of antique textiles, few treasures rival the historic prestige of this late 19th century Tekke Yomud Chuval rug bagface from Turkmenistan. Woven not as a mere floor covering but as a proud symbol of nomadic wealth and tribal identity, this exquisite piece embodies the authority and artistry of the Kizilayak Turkmenen. Its surface is adorned with nine commanding Tschowal güls, bold emblems of status, flanked by the intricate Sharch Palak motifs used among Turkoman tribes. Each signature emblem carries its own symbolic weight—heritage encoded in geometry, tradition preserved in wool.
The artistry here is unmistakable: hand-spun wool dyed in earthy reds, midnight blues, and ivory hues, forming a field that radiates both harmony and strength. The güls are neither random nor decorative alone—they are heraldic devices, signifying belonging, legacy, and the endurance of a culture deeply tied to both land and lineage. This extraordinary work of art is framed with a striking Yomud Asmalyk star border, a design once displayed in tribal weddings, symbolizing prosperity and continuity. The enclosing running dog guard bands add movement and protection, their ceaseless rhythm echoing the cyclical journey of nomadic life.
To own such a precious textile is to partake in an unbroken dialogue with history. Chuval bagfaces like this were never mass-produced; they were woven in intimate tribal settings, created with painstaking care for ceremonial use. Their scarcity today lies in their survival—many were used until threadbare, making intact 19th century examples exceedingly rare. Each surviving piece thus becomes an irreplaceable artifact of cultural heritage, carrying within it the prestige of age and the honor of preservation.
Beyond its rarity and symbolic depth, this exclusive masterpiece stands as a beacon of social good. To collect, protect, and display such a piece is to honor the artisans whose unrecorded names live on through their work. It preserves the voices of women weavers who encoded memory, identity, and aspiration into every knot. This Tekke Yomud Chuval is not only an object of beauty and status but also an instrument of cultural stewardship—an heirloom that elevates the collection it joins, carrying with it the aura of exclusivity, reverence, and timeless artistry.
