Antique Romanian Bessarabian Kilim 46919

Size: 6 ft 2 in x 12 ft 2 in (1.88 m x 3.71 m)

Crafted in Romania, this phenomenal early 20th century Bessarabian kilim has an exuberance and stylistic purity that is readily apparent in its folk-art designs.

Antique Bessarabian Kilim Rug, Origin: Romania, Circa: First Quarter of the 20th Century – This wonderful antique Bessarabian kilim has a whimsical, colorful and distinctly Romanian appearance ideal for eclectic and traditional spaces. The exuberant design showcases a delightful collection of tulips, flowers and flat-weave symbols that take on a lively botanical form. Directional flower chains, branching leaflets and lateral floral clusters create a naturalistic, wonderfully varied repeating pattern. Large-scale blossoms and botanical details in vibrant hues of orange, crimson, and pastel pink are juxtaposed beautifully against the purple ground. In the soft ivory inner borders, charming tulip blossoms and angular rosettes create a magnificent repeating pattern that complements the compound flower clusters and bi-color leaflets found in the obscure main borders. These decorative flat-weave motifs have a classical feel with the ideal blend of folk influences and formality.
