About the Item
19th Century Bessarabian Carpet Depicting Centaur ( 11'6" x 14' - 350 x 425 )
Late 19th Century Bessarabian Flat-Weave Carpet Depicting a Centaur, Ukraine, circa 1890
This rare and impressive Bessarabian carpet showcases the artistry and cultural dialogue of late 19th century European weaving. Rendered in wool using the traditional flat-weave technique, the carpet centers on a striking mythological centaur figure set against a dramatic black field, surrounded by soft grey and peach-toned borders embellished with classical wreaths, floral garlands, and neoclassical motifs.
Originating from Ukraine, Bessarabian carpets of this period are celebrated for their ability to bridge Eastern craftsmanship and Western aesthetic tastes, making them highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. This piece, with its grand scale (11'6" × 14') and rare figural imagery, would make an exceptional statement in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Perfect as a floor covering or decorative wall tapestry, this carpet is a testament to the enduring elegance and symbolic richness of 19th century European textile art.
