Late 19th Century Bessarabian Kilim Runner

About the Item

Like many Bessarabian kilims, this runner shows a synthesis of local folk motifs and designs inspired by 18th century French carpets popular at the Russian Court and in aristocratic circles. Here the floral elements are abstracted and simplified, striking a charming balance between formality and a homespun spontaneity.

    Located in San Francisco, CA
    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.
