Rug & Kilim’s Oversized European Style Rug in Cream with Floral Medallions

About the Item

This 13x17 oversized rug is inspired by 19th-century antique Bessarbian rugs, and marks an exciting new unveiling from Rug & Kilim’s European rug collection—in this case, a never-before-seen work from a Romanian atelier weaver among the earliest contemporary works in this collection. On the Design: This modern Bessarabian flatweave takes visual cues from its 19th-century Neoclassical-revivalist counterparts, known for balancing Eastern European weaving traditions with the floral grandeur of French Aubusson and Savonnerie carpets. Woven primarily in Romania, Moldova and southwestern Ukraine, Bessarabian rugs historically emerged at the intersection of the Ottoman Empire and Russian imperial influence. This created a visual design that was neither fully Oriental nor entirely Western—making these rugs uniquely cosmopolitan. This rug features a symmetrical trellis of dark medallions filled with soft florals—roses, vines, and curling leaves—framed by a complementary pale field and scrolling botanical border. Modern Bessarabian interpretations like this one retain the flatweave technique, which offers a more subdued texture, ideal for both classical and modern interiors. What distinguishes this piece is the juxtaposition of restraint and ornament: the use of gentle greens, blushes, and charcoals creates a faded, almost watercolor effect—deliberately evoking age and elegance. Despite being contemporary, it honors the antique originals in both color palette and structure. These rugs are especially suited to spaces seeking softness without excess, bridging the gap between antique romance and modern minimalism. As flatweaves, they are lightweight and versatile—functional as well as decorative. Custom Capable All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote.
