About the Item

A rare and finely knotted 19th-century Turkmen Yomut Chuval bagface from the steppes of Central Asia, this exceptional tribal textile reflects the artistic sophistication of nomadic weavers. Hand-knotted using extraordinarily fine wool and boasting a high knot density, this piece exhibits both technical precision and rich cultural heritage. The field is adorned with two distinct small medallions, or “Guls,” rendered in soft blue, green, ivory, and brown—colors that harmonize beautifully against the rich ground and illustrate the mastery of color and pattern for which the Yomut tribes are known. Originally part of a storage or transport bag, this bagface is a testament to utilitarian artistry, where even everyday objects were imbued with aesthetic significance. Ideal for collectors of tribal textiles, this piece can also be displayed as a striking wall tapestry or framed textile art—offering warmth, authenticity, and global character to any sophisticated interior.

19th Century Persian Afshar Tribal Bagface
Located in Barrington, IL
This richly woven 19th-century Afshar bagface—originally the front panel of a nomadic saddlebag—is a remarkable example of tribal textile art from southern Persia. Once a utilitarian object crafted for everyday use by the Afshar people, it now stands as a vibrant piece of wall art, embodying centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and nomadic heritage. Woven by village and tribal artisans, bagfaces and mafrash panels like this one were essential to nomadic life, used for transport and storage. Over time, these humble yet intricate textiles have become prized for their bold geometric designs, expressive color palettes, and deep cultural roots. The Afshar tribe is one of the oldest in the world, with a history stretching back to ancient Persia. Remarkably, many members of the tribe have maintained their nomadic lifestyle to this day, residing in regions that are home to some of the world’s earliest known civilizations. Now appreciated far beyond their original function, Afshar bagface bring warmth, history, and timeless design into modern interiors—each piece a story woven in wool.
