About the Item

Early 20th century Russian Bessarabian floral handmade wool rug Size: 7'10" × 9'2" (238 × 279 cm) This early 20th-century Russian Bessarabian flat-weave rug, circa 1900, is a remarkable textile masterpiece that exudes romantic elegance and old-world craftsmanship, featuring a richly detailed floral design reminiscent of European tapestries. Handwoven in the Bessarabian tradition, the rug showcases a lavish central field brimming with blooming roses, peonies, asters, and pansies in deep crimson, violet, ivory, and coral tones, all set against a muted taupe ground with golden foliage that adds warmth and vintage character. The vivid floral medley is framed by a beautifully ornamented border composed of architectural cartouches and stylized floral garlands in vibrant reds and leafy greens, creating a dramatic yet harmonious contrast. The finely executed tapestry-like weave gives the surface a painterly quality, highlighting the skilled craftsmanship of the weaver and the intricate pixel-like precision of the patterning. Decorative yet grounded in folk-art heritage, this rug is an exquisite blend of Russian provincial charm and Western European refinement, making it an ideal statement piece for traditional, eclectic, or antique-inspired interiors. This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
