About the Item
Antique Bessarabian Kilim Rug
Size: 5'0" × 7'8" (152 × 234 cm).
This elegant antique Bessarabian rug from the 1920s is a quintessential example of Eastern European textile artistry, known for its painterly aesthetic and soft palette. Hand-woven in the kilim technique, this flat-weave piece eschews pile for a more tapestry-like finish, offering a refined surface that highlights its decorative motifs.
At the heart of the composition, a lush bouquet of stylized florals emerges in subdued yet charming hues—rose, salmon, coral, and green—against a creamy ivory field. The flowers, with their pixelated rendering, showcase a delicate balance of abstraction and naturalism, giving the piece a distinctly vintage European character. Faint vines and branch-like tendrils stretch across the field, gently guiding the eye and adding graceful movement to the design.
What sets this rug apart is its open composition: instead of a rigid frame, the central floral cluster blends organically into the negative space, allowing the design to breathe. A partially filled corner in rich chocolate brown anchors the piece and provides subtle contrast, with creeping vine motifs and red accents that hint at early 20th-century Art Deco influences.
Woven from high-quality wool, the rug maintains a soft handle while retaining durability. The naturally faded patina adds to its charm, evoking the passage of time and lending authenticity to its antique status.
Ideal for traditional or transitional interiors, this Bessarabian kilim combines rustic simplicity with romantic refinement—perfect as a decorative floor piece or even as a wall hanging for textile collectors and vintage design enthusiasts.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
