Beautiful Antique Flat Woven Bessarabian Kilim Rug, Origin: Romania, Circa: 1900 – The antique flat woven Bessarabian kilims are some of the most beautiful rugs in the world. They originate in the Russian provinces of Romania, Ukraine, and Moldavia. This magnificent flat weave rug was created in Romania around the turn of the 20th century. The intricate floral motifs arranged in geometric patterns bring the beauty of the spring garden to the interior of the home.

Bessarabian rugs from Romania pay homage to the neoclassical style that was a favorite of Catherine the Great, but they often took a more folk art approach to traditional design. They combine traditional elements in a more informal design than many other European rug styles of the time. Today, the design of these rugs stands the test of time, and they make an excellent addition to modern decor, too.

This year, shades of brown and pink are making headlines in the pages of interior design magazines and on blogs. Designers are combining shades of brown from beige to chocolate with subtle colors that include blues, pinks, and saturated tones. The artist who created this piece chose the warmer side of the spectrum by using ivory, pink, and brilliant red accents in a combination that is fitting for a modern color palette.

The traditional presentation of the floral elements shows the influence of continental French and European design, and it would be the perfect addition to a room of classic European furniture. The artist used shading to mimic the three-dimensional quality of plaster reliefs found in the architecture of the time. The artist used shading to give the piece depth but only presented some elements in outline and using tone-on-tone techniques. This gives it an abstract quality that highlights the rural character and charm of the piece.

This magnificent kilim rug from Romania would make a beautiful addition to a Grand Millennial room with traditional elements and modern upholstery. It would also be the perfect way to add texture and color to contemporary furniture with clean lines and simple shapes. The design of this captivating runner rug has a complexity in the arrangement and number of elements, but the treatment of the motifs themselves allows it to retain a feeling of simplicity. This is a balanced antique area rug in color and design, making it the perfect piece for a formal or informal setting, or you could use it to bridge an eclectic collection of a few of your favorite things.
