About the Item
The kilims known as 'Bessarabian' were woven in the Russian regions of Ukraine and Moldovia. Intended to satisfy the demands of the Russian aristocracy at a time when continental interiors were particularly in vogue, these flat-weaves were commissioned to urban workshops, which often had the organisation necessary to be able to produce carpets of such sophisticated design and fineness of execution. Indeed by the beginning of the nineteenth century a few carpet workshops were already set up around St. Petersburg.
Yet at the same time the magic of Bessarabian kilims lies in their synthesis of folk Art and courtly refinement. Bessarabian flat-weaves are distinguished from Western urban weavings in that the designs have a much less formal character, such as in this example. Here, the floral pattern is drawn so as to seem more closely related to the local and more traditional vernacular. The elegant balance between the noble and the poor, between grace and force, make these unique flat-weaves among the most sought after decorative carpets.
