Antique Bessarabian Kilim

1900 - 1920
Description

A beautiful circa 1920 Bessarabian Kilim with an unusual design.  We have not come across a Kilim of this type with this circular floral pattern in this size.  Wonderful pretty pale blues, hints of yellow and subtle pinky reds.  A very attractive kilim in lovely condition.  A few very small old repairs but nothing major to report.  Supplied with our anti-slip underlay this can be laid on any floor type, which helps keep them secure, flat and safe on the floor.

Bessarabian rugs and carpets are the commonly given name for rugs in pile and tapestry technique originating in Russian provinces as well as 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.

FAQs

Bessarabian kilims originated in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the region encompassing modern Moldova and parts of Ukraine. Influenced by both Ottoman weaving traditions and French tapestry patterns, these flatweave textiles are recognized for their distinct floral designs and saturated colour palettes.

Traditional kilims are handwoven using pure wool for both the warp and weft threads. The flatweave technique involves tightly interweaving these wool threads on a loom, producing a durable, pileless textile.

Authentic examples feature slit-weave flatweave construction, hand-spun wool, and organic dye variation, known as abrash. The patterns typically display stylised floral rosettes or medallions, and the weave pattern appears identical on both sides of the rug.

A floral flatweave kilim introduces pattern and warmth when placed on neutral hardwood floors in living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms. It contrasts effectively with clean-lined contemporary furniture or complements traditional timber pieces.

Maintain flatweave wool carpets by vacuuming gently using a suction-only attachment without a beater bar. Address spills immediately by blotting with an absorbent cloth, and consult a professional textile cleaner for periodic washing.
