No. 639 - Vintage Turkmen Chuval Face Product No.: No. 639 Age: 1970s Origin: Northeastern Iran Material: Wool x Cotton Size: 120cm x 65cm (excluding fringe) Thickness: 6mm This piece, with its stunning abrash variation from reddish-brown to coffee-brown, is a tribal rug from the few Turkmen people residing in northeastern Iran. It was originally the face of a chuval, a type of bag used to store grains and household goods. The color appears different depending on the viewing angle, but it has a well-worn feel, and the color of the back suggests fading. It has the characteristic long fringe of a chuval, making it look great when hung on a wall. It also has a solid thickness when laid on the floor, but please check the images for some slight distortion. As a 55-year-old vintage rug, it has a certain amount of wear and tear, and the overall atmosphere is very tribal. There are no noticeable stains or damage, and no repair marks are visible. The pile itself is short and has a smooth texture with a dense weave.

Please understand that there may be minor repairs that we are unaware of. We have purchased these items from local sellers as cleaned, but please note that some sand and pile debris may remain. Also, there may be nail marks from drying after cleaning, but they will blend in with use, so please rest assured. Finally, regarding the rug itself, there is a unique smell of wool. Measurements are taken near the center, but please understand that there may be errors due to the distortion inherent in hand-woven rugs, shrinkage due to water cleaning, and color unevenness due to aging from plant dyeing. We believe that these are also part of the charm of vintage rugs.
