About the Item
This exceptional antique Bessarabian tapestry, woven circa 1900, exemplifies the rich pictorial and decorative traditions of Eastern European folk textiles. At the center is a finely rendered rooster standing within a stylized landscape, a motif historically associated with protection, abundance, and the cycle of daily life. The pictorial field is framed by an elaborate floral border composed of garlands, blossoms, and scrolling forms, executed with remarkable clarity and balance.
The color palette is both bold and refined, featuring a deep chocolate brown ground enlivened by shades of rose pink, soft sage and emerald green, ivory, pale yellow, and subtle black accents. The contrast between the central pictorial panel and the densely patterned border creates a strong visual rhythm, a defining characteristic of high-quality Bessarabian textiles from this period.
Woven using a flat tapestry technique rather than pile, this piece demonstrates the craftsmanship and decorative intent of Bessarabian workshop production at the turn of the century. Suitable for use as a wall hanging or floor tapestry, it offers both artistic presence and historical significance. A rare and highly decorative example of early 20th century European folk art.
