This antique flat weave Bessarabian kilim, crafted in the 1920s in Romania, showcases a unique and exquisite design. Woven without a pile using a flat weave technique, it features three floral arrangements that blend neo-classical flair with folk-inspired art. The striking black ground, while common in these types of kilims, is rare for antique rugs overall, making it a distinctive feature.
The border band complements the main field with a simple yet elegant floral motif on a neutral ground, enhancing the contrast and overall aesthetic. Handwoven from vegetable-dyed wool, this versatile piece can be displayed as a tapestry, used as a bed cover, or admired as floor art. Its beautiful design and historical craftsmanship make it a stunning addition to any collection.
