About the Item
Antique Russian Bessarabian Rug
Size: 7'0" × 11'2" (213 × 340 cm)
Rich with historical depth and artisanal charm, this 19th-century antique Russian Bessarabian rug exemplifies the romantic spirit of Eastern European textile tradition. Handwoven circa 1880, this piece showcases the unique qualities of Bessarabian flat-weave rugs—known for blending French Aubusson refinement with bold folkloric motifs.
Set against a beautifully variegated deep navy field, stylized floral bouquets in soft peach, cream, pale blue, and warm camel create a harmonious visual rhythm across the composition. A delicately rendered oval medallion anchors the center, encircled by abstracted palmettes and florals. The elegant ivory border features a garland-like pattern of scrolling vines and stylized blossoms that frame the interior with grace and cohesion.
This rug's color palette—at once earthy and regal—is masterfully balanced, highlighting the textured appeal of its flat-weave construction. Its symmetrical layout and rich surface detailing speak to both artistic intentionality and cultural heritage.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece or wall hanging, this antique Bessarabian rug evokes a timeless elegance that transcends eras. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of antique European textiles, it offers both historic significance and decorative versatility.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
