About the Item
Bessarabian Flat Weave Rug Doris Leslie Blau Collection
Size: 10'6" × 11'8" (320 × 355 cm)
This enchanting Bessarabian flat-weave rug, dating from the early 20th century, captures the romantic charm and artisanal finesse of Eastern European textile traditions. Measuring approximately 12 by 11 feet, the composition is characterized by a continuous allover pattern of stylized floral or leaf-like motifs that ripple rhythmically across the surface like a botanical tapestry.
The color palette is a soft symphony of dusk-inspired tones—muted rose, faded terracotta, weathered olive, taupe, mocha, and charcoal—subtly shifting from darker accents at the edges to gentler washes toward the center. The natural gradient lends the piece a painterly depth, evoking the look of aged frescoes or autumn foliage under a setting sun.
Woven using the traditional kilim (flat-weave) technique, the rug exhibits a remarkably fine handle, with its reversible surface reflecting both finesse and utility. The absence of heavy borders places full emphasis on the pattern’s organic repetition, enhancing the rug’s modern appeal while preserving its historical soul.
A testament to understated elegance, this antique Bessarabian rug would bring warmth and poetic texture to a variety of interiors—from refined bohemian spaces to sophisticated contemporary settings seeking a touch of soulful vintage artistry.
As part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, a brand celebrated for its dedication to quality and design heritage, this rug exemplifies their commitment to originality and artisanry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
