About the Item
Antique Bessarabian Floral Rug Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 5'10" × 8'10" (177 × 269 cm)
This striking antique Bessarabian rug, woven circa 1920, captures the rustic elegance and folkloric charm characteristic of Eastern European decorative arts. Crafted in a flatweave technique, the rug features a spacious field in warm golden ochre, decorated with stylized floral clusters that evoke hand-embroidered textile motifs from the region. Each bouquet is symmetrically placed and includes abstracted leaves and blossoms in soft tones of celadon, cream, rose, slate blue, and charcoal.
The design speaks to the pastoral spirit of the early 20th century, when rural artisans combined Old World floral traditions with simplified forms and an earthy color palette. A wide, contrasting cocoa-brown border surrounds the field, showcasing a rhythmic floral garland of naïve blossoms connected by a delicate green vine—lending a charming frame to the composition.
Woven with wool on a cotton foundation, the piece has a mellow patina that enhances its authenticity and character. The harmonious tones and graphic layout make it especially appealing for interiors seeking a blend of historic texture and subtle color—perfect for eclectic, farmhouse, or European country styles.
Despite its age, the rug remains in very good condition with only minor signs of wear consistent with its handmade origin and vintage provenance.
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.
