About the Item
Antique Bessarabian Carpet, European Needlework
Size: 9'3" × 9'10" (281 × 299 cm)
This antique Bessarabian kilim rug, handwoven circa 1920, features a striking symmetrical design characterized by a large central medallion surrounded by four radiating floral and foliate cartouches. Rendered in a refined palette of soft gray, taupe, faded rose, ivory, and muted green, the composition is accented with deep blue geometric elements and stylized blossoms, lending the piece a structured yet painterly appearance.
The floral abstractions, typical of Bessarabian textiles, are arranged with formal balance while retaining a sense of natural rhythm and folk charm. A border of softly contrasting tones frames the composition and reinforces its architectural layout. Flat-woven in wool, the rug’s texture is light and flexible, suitable for use as both a decorative floor covering and wall hanging.
Reflecting the cultural fusion between Eastern European folk artistry and Western aesthetic sensibilities, this early 20th-century needlework rug is a graceful example of regional craftsmanship and timeless decorative appeal.
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.
