Ukrainian Wool Kilim, Circa 1890, 3.44m X 2.28m

19th century
Description

The design of repeating flowering shrubs on a charcoal background seen on this charming kilim appears in many weavings across the region historically referred to as Bessarabia, which includes parts of modern Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. However, the distinctive technique of this piece, employing curved wefts and interlocking weaves, indicates an origin in Central Ukraine. There is an appealing purity to the design here. All secondary ornamentation has been stripped away. The composition is then framed by a simple ivory stepped border, a characteristic feature of Kyiv weavings. Compared to the more sophisticated tapestries woven further east in the Poltava region, this piece feels much more authentically rustic, a genuine example of the Ukrainian folk art tradition, and would make a very striking addition to many decorative schemes. The condition is also very good with a robust structure. There are a few minor scattered repairs, and one reweave in the field. It has been professionally cleaned and is ready for immediate use.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Ukrainian kilim is a flat-woven textile originating from Ukraine and surrounding Eastern European regions, traditionally hand-woven with wool and featuring distinctive floral or geometric folk patterns.

Traditional kilims are created on a loom using a slit-weave technique where coloured weft threads are tightly woven through warp strands to build flat, pileless patterns.

Authentic period kilims feature hand-spun wool yarns, natural dye variations known as abrash, a flat-woven structure without pile, and regional botanical motifs typical of Eastern European folk art.

A dark floral kilim can be used to ground light-toned room schemes, positioned beneath contemporary furniture for visual contrast, or layered over natural sisal matting.

Gentle maintenance requires periodic vacuuming using a suction-only attachment without a rotate brush bar, prompt spot cleaning with mild wool detergent, and professional hand-cleaning when necessary.
