COMPLETE ANTIQUE YOMUD TURKOMAN 9-GUL CHUVAL, Central Asian Tribal, Turkmenistan, circa 1900, and coming in excellent overall condition for the collector. The exact size is: 2'-6" x 3'-10" (76 x 117 cm). This complete antique Turkmen chuval is fresh to the market having come directly from source acquisition in Turkmenistan where it was found in storage. The field displays nine Yomud-group chuval guls with "erre" guls as minor ornaments all of which is framed by an ivory border containing "dogadshyk" motifs. The colorful elem panel at the bottom exhibits a rarely seen allover infinite repeat of "dyrnak" guls. This antique weaving is symmetrically knotted on wool warps and wefts. All natural dyes with a lovely shade of aubergine for the ground color. Everything is original on the chuval including the side cord over-castings, the natural ivory wool plain-weave backing (see photo 12), and the top end closure devices (see photo 6). The pile is in excellent overall condition throughout (see photo 10), showing only a couple of small moth bites and a few areas of slightly lower, but not worn, pile from past ethnographic age use. This old weaving was recently found in long time storage and comes a bit dusty, but not dirty. A professional hand cleaning is recommended to give this lovely chuval a softer handle and to make the palette brighter
