FAQs

Bessarabian kilims originate from the historical region of Bessarabia, known for distinctive floral motifs influenced by both Eastern European folk art and Western European tapestry designs.

These flatweave textiles are traditionally crafted using hand-spun wool for the pile and foundation yarns, often dyed with natural vegetable colorants.

Authentic period pieces feature irregularities in hand-spun wool, natural dye oxidisation, slit-weave construction techniques, and wear consistent with age.

An antique flatweave rug adds texture and pattern when layered over hardwood floors, acting as a grounding element in contemporary or eclectic living spaces.

Preservation requires gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing, keeping the textile out of direct sunlight, and using a breathable rug underlay.
