Doris Leslie Blau Authentic 19th Century Bessarabian Handmade Rug

About the Item

Authentic 19th century Bessarabian handmade rug Size: 11'8" × 12'4" (355 × 375 cm) This circa 1880 antique flat-weave Bessarabian rug features an all-over design of interlocking abstractions containing floral motifs in shades of red, pink and green. Ornate curling vinery and a thin main border complete the look of the antique late 19th century European carpet. The Bessarabian nomenclature relates to a group of 19th century carpets and flat weaves - or kilims - made in the mountainous Carpathian region between Ukraine and Moldova. 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.
