About the Item
Handwoven in wool and originating from Moldova circa 1950-1960, this 5x7 vintage Bessarabian Kilim and flatweave rug is a particularly special new curation from Rug & Kilim's European rug collection—a rare pictorial design and one of few works from the Moldovan region of former Bessarabia in such condition today.
On the Design:
This piece enjoys rich black and oak brown ground tones, which underscore a vine scroll border of floral sprays around two figural depictions of lions in the field. Admirers of the craft will appreciate what an exceptional find pictorials are in any provenance, but especially an animal rug of this particularly unusual look and charm—a one-of-a-kind discovery in even our collection. There's a smart balance of color thats both quintessential to this weaving tradition and exemplary for it, too, as the bright pinks, reds, and greens enjoy such a natural complement to their presence atop such rich undertones. Keen eyes for detail will further admire the subtleties of this piece, from the impressionistic look of shading in the patterns to the handsome, tasteful abrash only a true classic can enjoy. It's a truly unexpected find among its class and period, with both a manner of pattern seldom seen in this shabby-chic look and an overall air of rustic, country charm and bucolic beauty designers and collectors alike will appreciate. Its versatile size is also particularly well suited to both flooring and wall-hanging projects (for those considering its sensibility as a tapestry).

This vintage Bessarabian Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
