A wonderful pair of Bessarabian Kilims, dating from 1920 and in excellent original condition.  Beautiful floral elements to replicate barley, poppies, and various other flowers.  Using soft greens, pinks, pale blues and greens with some light orange hues, to create the prettiest pair of kilims.  Rare to find a pair of antique Bessarabian kilims in these lovely smaller sizes.  Each kilim measures 230 x 148 cm.Bessarabian rugs and carpets are the commonly given name for rugs in pile and tapestry technique originating in Ukraine and Moldova during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  Some scholars will classify flat-woven carpets as Bessarabian, while referring to knotted-pile carpets as Ukrainian.
