About the Item
Antique Bessarabian Rug
Size: 10'9" × 13'7" (327 × 414 cm)
Color: Beige, Brown, Gray, Pink, Purple, Taupe.
This exquisite 1920s Bessarabian rug captures the poetic elegance of Eastern European textile art at its peak. Handwoven in the historic Bessarabia region, this antique flat-weave rug is a stunning testament to the region’s mastery of both color and form.
The design centers around a graceful medallion encircled by a profusion of stylized floral motifs, most notably the romantic, blooming roses in gentle hues of blush pink, coral, and ivory. These florals unfurl across a field of muted taupe, mocha, and dove gray, while subtle blue and lavender accents introduce soft depth and contrast.
Ornamental scrolling acanthus leaves and architectural flourishes give the piece a regal Rococo sensibility, reminiscent of French Aubusson tapestries yet rendered with the rustic charm of folk weaving traditions. The broad, olive-gray border features a repeating chevron garland, anchoring the composition and adding to its classical symmetry.
Woven with exceptional craftsmanship, the rug showcases a tight weave and defined contours, allowing its painterly details and gradients to stand out. The wool is supple and resilient, and the condition reflects gentle age-related wear consistent with its vintage nature.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
