About the Item
Outstanding Floral Bessarabian Kilim with Light Green Border, Mid-19th Century
Pile carpets and flat-weaves known in the market as 'Bessarabian' were woven mostly in the 19th century in what are now the countries of Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine—along the northwestern coastal areas of the Black Sea (in eastern Europe). Both pile and Kilim types use floral subject matter and a distinct coloration, with a dominant dark ground and accents in rose reds. This older Bessarabian flat-weave uses a red derived from imported cochineal and adds a pleasing complimentary contrasting light green border, a feature lost in later examples. Planted flower pots, perhaps ultimately derived from much more formal French models, are rendered with a pleasing folk aesthetic.

Located in San Francisco, CA
Utilizing both Ottoman and European aesthetics and modes, this Besserabian flat-weave was woven in the Northeast of the country by the Black Sea either very close to or in the area now that is Moldova. The dark ground recalls weavings from Karabagh in the Caucasus while the bouquets of roses reflect the French taste prevalent throughout the Russian Empire at this time.
