About the Item
Authentic Botanic Russian Bessarabian handmade wool rug
Size: 9'0" × 14'3" (274 × 434 cm)
This exquisite antique Bessarabian rug, woven in the early 20th century, showcases the distinct charm and elegance of Eastern European textile artistry. Measuring approximately 14 feet by 9 feet, the piece features a field of stylized floral bouquets arranged in neat rows across a soft, neutral beige background. These blooming motifs, rendered in earthy shades of walnut, taupe, cream, and touches of powder blue, exhibit a refined romanticism characteristic of Bessarabian design.
The field is framed by a dramatic dark brown border adorned with meandering vines and floral tendrils in complementary tones, creating a striking contrast that enhances the central composition. The naturalistic elements and harmonious palette speak to the rug’s roots in both folk tradition and classical European tapestry influence.
Flatwoven using the kilim technique, this rug offers a relatively thin yet durable surface, making it suitable for both decorative and functional use. The craftsmanship demonstrates a meticulous hand and a deep understanding of balance and symmetry.
Whether placed in a traditional setting or juxtaposed against modern interiors, this Bessarabian kilim brings a sense of warmth, heritage, and artistry to any room.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. 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.
