Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Vintage Swedish Rollakan Rug, Green/Yellow Palette
Located in New York, NY
Rollakan rugs are a type of traditional Swedish flat-woven rug. The name "rollakan" comes from the Swedish words "rulla" (to roll) and "lakan" (sheet). These rugs are characterized by their flat, reversible weave and often feature geometric patterns or pictorial designs. Rollakan rugs are created using a tapestry weaving technique, where the weft threads are tightly woven into the warp threads to create the desired pattern. They are known for their versatility and durability. The designs on rollakan rugs can vary widely, ranging from simple geometric shapes to intricate motifs inspired by nature, folklore, or traditional Swedish art. Historically, rollakan rugs were woven by rural communities in Sweden and were used as floor coverings, bed covers, or wall hangings. Today, they continue to be appreciated for their beauty and craftsmanship and are often sought after as collectible items or used to enhance the décor of modern interiors. Rollakan rugs are typically made using natural materials such as wool or linen, providing a sustainable and environmentally friendly option. They are also known for their vibrant colors, often achieved through the use of natural dyes. Overall, rollakan rugs represent a significant part of Sweden's weaving heritage and are cherished for their unique designs and craftsmanship. Eliko Rugs by David...

Early 20th Century Antique Kilim Bessarabian Rug 9'5'' X 5'5''
Located in Los Angeles, US
Antique Bessarabian Rugs / Kilims in both pile and tapestry weaving technique are some of the more beautiful carpets to have been produced in Europe. Many of the Bessarabian Kilims were woven around the mid to late 19th century, though some do date back to the 18th century as well. This production that carried into the early twentieth century under late Ottoman Turkish rule in an area corresponding to modern Bulgaria and Romania, they stand right on the cusp of European and Oriental carpet weaving. Many of the designs are floral patterns made in a naturalistic western style utilizing brown or black ground, not unlike certain Karabaghs from the Caucauses. But others, particularly flat weaves, reflect the tradition of Turkish kilims from nearby Anatolia, although in a distinctive Bessarbian palette. In either case they are supremely decorative rugs.
History Of Antique Flat Woven Bessarabian Kilim Rugs from Romania
Bessarabian Kilims and carpets are flat woven rugs that originate in the Russian provinces of the Ukraine and Moldova in the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. While most carpet experts will classify the flat woven rugs as Bessarabian they will often refer to the knotted pile carpets as Ukrainian.
The Bessarabian carpets differ from antique Persian carpets in many ways. For example, unlike Persian carpets, Bessarabian rugs cannot be classified to a region according to the way the rugs were woven. Their weaves provide indications regarding the area for which they were created rather than for their classification. The markets these antique rugs were designed for could have fallen into different categories such as a rural market or an urban one. But all other attributes were dismissed and all the Romani made area rugs and carpets are referred to as Bessarabian instead.
Antique Romanian Bessarabian kilims are ornate and they come in a variety of designs as well color combinations. It’s not uncommon for some Bessarabian kilims to be more floral while others may feature more geometric patterns. Bessarabian carpets are made on carpet weaving looms similar to the ones used to make the French Aubusson rugs.
These looms are wooden, and the rugs are flat woven / kilims. The best of these rug types were created in the 1700’s. The Russian Imperial Tapestry Factory was where these Romanian rugs were made, and the factory was created by none other than Peter the Great. He established the Russian Imperial Tapestry Factory following his return from England and France. He was inspired to create the factory after being in awe of the splendid Aubusson carpets, Savonnerie rugs, and Axminster carpets he saw while abroad.
The beautiful carpets he admired while in Europe had already caught the eyes of his Russian contemporaries, and importing them was triggering a financial drain for the Russian treasury. For this reason, the Russian Imperial Tapestry Factory was used as a location for copying the French and English carpets Peter the Great and the Russian nobility desired.
Demand for these lavishly luxurious rugs grew, and additional factories were created in villages. This region is from where these rugs got the name Bessarabian. The region is divided between two territories: the Republic of Moldova and Romania. Bessarabian rug weavers were country people who had a country taste. Though they were tasked with replicating the elaborate motifs of the European rugs, they added their own unique country’s flair to their borrowed rug patterns and designs. This more folksy or traditional approach to the European patterns...
