Bessarabian Rug 3123

Bessarabian Kilim, Turkey, Circa 1900 - Lovely little peonies on stems repeat in rows across the deep tan ground of this charming antique Bessarabian kilim. Each of them leans gracefully to the left, imparting a gentle swaying rhythm to the overall design. Only a thin green band and zig-zag serve as a border to enclose or frame the composition, affirming th essential restraint and simplicity of the piece.
