Antique Bessarabian Kilim

19th century
Description

An elegant pale blue ocean background on this antique Bessarabian Kilim woven around 1890-1900 in lovely original condition. Stunning watery pale blue background, with floating floral design.  Also in the border you can see subtle changes in the pale blue dyes, the technique they use to weave allows them to try and create a water effect.  The flowers are truly beautiful using greens, reds and pinks.  Supplied with our anti-slip underlay this can be laid on any floor type.

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.

Please contact us to request a home visit, we love to travel all over the UK, we would be very happy to visit you with this antique kilim soon.  A free, no obligation service we have offered for over 30 years of business.

We will donate 10% from the sale of any of our antique Bessarabian Kilims to the Unicef Charity - To Protect Children In Ukraine.

FAQs

Bessarabian kilims are flatweave rugs produced in the Bessarabia region of Eastern Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, renowned for their distinctive floral designs influenced by French tapestry traditions.

These rugs are traditionally hand-woven using natural wool yarns on a cotton or wool warp, employing a slit-weave tapestry technique that produces a flat, pileless texture with sharp pattern definitions.

Authentic pieces feature flat tapestry weaving, natural dye variations resulting in subtle colour abrash, and motif patterns predominantly depicting realistic floral bouquets or stylized botanical garlands.

A Bessarabian kilim serves as a focal ground layer in living rooms or dining areas, contrasting clean-lined contemporary furniture with intricate botanical motifs and soft historic colourways.

Vacuum gently without a rotating brush attachment, rotate regularly to ensure even wear and light exposure, and use a quality rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and fibre friction.
