Large Vintage Bessarabian Kilim
About the Item
The tradition of Bessarabian kilim weaving dates to the later period of Ottoman rule over the Eastern Balkans – broadly, the territory now covered by Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova – and is known for an interesting combination of design elements from Anatolian carpets, as well as a distinct influence from sophisticated European weavings, commissioned for the aristocracy.
Rare in this large format, this fine vintage example employs a wide palette in the floral designs, worked in tones of sage green, ivory, salmon and bronze, stamped across the field - a well-balanced, open composition, framed by a tasteful border. The artist has lent a delicate abrash (colour variation) to the subtle brown/black ground, which gives this wonderful flatweave a real sense of depth and character.
Preserved in very good condition for everyday use.
A beautiful piece, in an impressive size, to suit a wide variety of spaces.
