About the Item
This one-of-a-kind 19th-century Bessarabian pillow was handwoven in Moldova using traditional flatweave kilim techniques. The design showcases stepped zigzags, abstract floral motifs, and stylized hourglass forms in earthy tones over a deep charcoal field—an iconic hallmark of Bessarabian village weaving. The piece offers rich textural depth and historic charm, seamlessly blending rustic authenticity with timeless sophistication.
