About the Item

Mid 19th Century Besserabian Flat-Weave Carpet ( 7'6" x 10'6"- 228 x 320 ) Antique Floral Medallion Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional mid-19th century flat weave exemplifies the sophisticated European approach to textile artistry. The composition centers on a bold medallion framed by complex architectural elements, setting it apart from traditional geometric weavings. The entire field is enveloped in a lush, classical floral design rendered in rich pinks and deep browns. Woven with fine wool, the rug's palette is remarkably fresh for its age. The primary field features a luminous ivory ground, providing a striking contrast to the darker, scrolling cartouches that define the central axis. Subtler tones of rose and blush define the voluminous cabbage roses scattered throughout the border and field, softening the overall visual impact. As a flat weave, this piece demonstrates superb craftsmanship, utilizing techniques that highlight the clarity of the pattern without the distraction of pile. Such elegant, large-scale European weavings are highly sought after by collectors of antique rugs who appreciate their ability to anchor a refined interior space with historical authenticity. The scale of this textile makes it particularly desirable, offering a generous room size suitable for a formal drawing room or grand salon. Its enduring quality and delicate coloration ensure that this 1850s masterpiece remains a timeless statement piece, perfectly bridging historical elegance with contemporary design needs.
