About the Item

This is a Large Vintage Old Bessarabian Kilim Rug from Moldova with a rare and beautiful color composition. Today, it is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordering Romania and Ukraine. Although it is now an independent country, it has been ruled by various nations since ancient times because it was historically located at a key point connecting Asia and Europe. Since the Middle Ages, it has been repeatedly occupied and annexed by Turkey, Russia, and Romania and was under the control of the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. The tradition of kilim weaving also exists in such a region of Moldova, and kilims with such strong originality are woven. The design has become concrete at once and has a European atmosphere. As for the color, there are many deep-colored fabrics based on heavy black like this, and vivid bouquet-like flower designs are arranged and woven in various ways to contrast it. The colors and patterns are similar to designs found in embroidery that is occasionally seen in Europe. However, there is also a kilim-like appearance, such as the abrage seen in the plain weave. It gives the impression of a carpet, but the kilim weave makes it versatile and easy to use. It has a solid feel and is recommended for Western-style reception rooms and dining rooms. Not only can it be used in a monotone room with a stylish and urban atmosphere, but it can also be used in a dark, woody living room or bedroom, creating a warm atmosphere. A flexible kilim rug changes its expression depending on how it is used.
