About the Item
Antique Bessarabian Kilim Rug, Handwoven Floral Tapestry
Size: 9'7" × 15'10" (292 × 482 cm)
A remarkable example of Eastern European textile artistry, this Antique Bessarabian rug masterfully blends bold color contrasts with delicate botanical motifs to create a visual feast that’s both refined and richly decorative. Handwoven in the early 20th century, the rug features a striking dark chocolate brown field adorned with a grid of stylized floral bouquets rendered in muted tones of blush pink, soft ivory, faded peach, celadon, and slate blue.
Each bouquet motif is carefully composed with geometric precision, yet softened by the organic curves of petals and leaves—creating a rhythmic, garden-like structure across the central field. This painterly elegance is elevated by the rug’s creamy ivory main border, which encircles the composition with an undulating vine of larger, blooming roses and floral medallions. Pale blue leaves and stems meander naturally through the blossoms, while golden yellow and ochre accents add warmth and vibrancy.
A secondary border of light blue crosses on a rich black ground adds a modernist frame to this otherwise romantic and folk-inspired design. The balanced interplay of dark and light tones makes this rug especially versatile for interiors, whether placed in a traditional setting or used to ground more eclectic décor.
Handwoven in wool using the flat-weave kilim technique, this Bessarabian rug is prized for its fine craftsmanship, supple handle, and impressive scale.
Showcasing the finest materials and patterns, this design is part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau Collection, renowned for its rare and unique finds across a wide range of prices.
