Antique Bessarabian Rug in Purple with Floral Pictorials
About the Item
Hand-knotted in wool, circa 1920-1930, this 11x14 rare antique Bessarabian rug features a purple field and creamy border, underscoring elegant floral patterns and pictorials of birds around a vase.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs will admire a variety of floral patterns and pictorials—mostly in neutral and warm shades. As rare to this piece as the scale is the Bessarabian design, given that few rugs of this lineage have been curated with this sensibility. This lush approach to the design creates a feeling of this being a gateway to an extraordinary place of floral wonders with birds. Admirers of the craft will further note that its colors depart from the more abundant uses of conventional colors and favors such a gorgeous array of choices. This rug is one of the most wonderful plays of pictorial art and aristocratic sensibility together, playing the two into a look that’s unique to every one of them, but arguably never more unique than in this masterpiece.
Condition:
This antique Bessarabian rug further enjoys great condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. It is an unusual and collectible piece with charm and personality like no other.
