About the Item
Traditional Bessarabian Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 4'7" × 17'0" (139 × 518 cm)
A captivating antique Bessarabian runner hand-knotted in Europe, this exceptional 17-foot-long wool rug exemplifies the grandeur and elegance of classical Eastern European textile traditions. Its detailed and symmetrical floral motifs, rendered in a vivid palette, showcase the region’s rich artistic heritage and expert craftsmanship.
The design centers on a series of bold, oversized medallions in soft periwinkle and blush tones, encircled by delicately serrated floral garlands in buttercream, rose, and pastel blue. These medallions are framed by ornate scrolling vinery in soft pinks and golden ochre, all set against a deep, saturated crimson field that adds warmth and visual depth.
A well-balanced, complementary border in pale cerulean blue encloses the composition, decorated with stylized floral elements and zigzag motifs, creating a harmonious contrast with the rich field. Subtle details—like the interplay of light and shadow in the weave, and the precision of the outlines—highlight the hand-crafted nature of this piece.
Woven from high-quality wool, the rug offers a durable yet soft texture underfoot. Despite its age, the runner retains its color vibrancy and structure, speaking to the quality of materials and construction.
Perfect for hallways, galleries, or transitional spaces, this antique Bessarabian runner is both a decorative focal point and a piece of textile history, inviting warmth and sophistication into any interior.
With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
