FAQs

Bessarabian kilims are flatwoven rugs produced in the historical Bessarabia region, known for their distinct floral motifs and often dark backgrounds influenced by Western European textile traditions.

These pieces are traditionally handwoven using a slit-weave flat technique with natural wool warp and weft yarns, frequently dyed using plant-based and early synthetic colourants.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating the wool quality, natural wear patterns, organic dyes, characteristic floral or neoclassical design elements, and hand-spun yarn irregularities.

An antique flatweave rug works well as a grounding element on hardwood floors, adding texture and historical contrast to neutral, contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning only, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
