Description

Beautiful flowers and flowing leaves and vines on this stone grey background antique Bessarabian kilim. Woven around 1920, the colours are truly delightful, full of various greens, pale blues, purple and pink tones and aubergine toned border. Such a pretty decorative piece, a rare smaller size to find, we love the look of this traditional yet almost contemporary looking kilim.

Washed by our workshop it is ready for the floor, condition is very nice, with no holes or old reweaves. Supplied with our brilliant underlay, this thin antique kilim would be safe on the floor as it adds body and stops movement.

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. They are predominantly from an area corresponding to modern Bulgaria and Romania. Produced under late Ottoman rule, they stand right on the cusp of European and Oriental carpet weaving.
