About the Item

Vintage Bezalel Rug Size: 11'2" × 11'5" (340 × 347 cm) This rare and captivating vintage Bezalel rug from early 20th-century Palestine is a striking testament to the enduring legacy of the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts, founded in Jerusalem in 1906. Expertly handwoven in wool, this piece showcases a unique synthesis of Eastern European folk motifs and Middle Eastern design sensibilities, reflecting the cultural melting pot from which it emerged. The all-over design is composed of stylized eight-pointed stars arranged in a structured grid, each framed within softly angular lozenges. Rendered in a harmonious, muted palette of soft terracotta, faded olive, subdued gold, and washed charcoal on a warm beige ground, the rug carries a timeworn elegance that speaks to both its age and craftsmanship. The geometric symmetry of the field is complemented by a wide border featuring diamond medallions and protective fish motifs, subtly blending symbolic and decorative purposes. Woven from high-quality wool, the rug’s pile is dense and textural, with visible ribbing that adds depth and character. Signs of natural wear and age-related patina enhance its authenticity and charm without compromising its structural integrity. This Bezalel rug not only serves as a beautiful floor covering but also as a historical artifact, offering insight into the Jewish artistic revival in the early 20th century. With its rich provenance, soft coloration, and versatile square proportions, this piece is ideal for collectors and interior designers seeking a soulful, cultural centerpiece. 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.
