This antique Romanian Bessarabian tapestry wool kilim is a stunning example of Eastern European folk artistry. Handwoven with remarkable precision, it features a vivid floral composition rendered in bold hues of red, rose, pink, and olive green against a deep black background. The central bouquet bursts with expressive blooms, surrounded by a lush border of scrolling foliage and stylised roses, creating a dramatic frame. Known for their painterly quality and rich symbolism, Bessarabian kilims often blend Eastern and Western aesthetic influences, and this piece exemplifies that harmony beautifully. Perfect as a statement textile for the wall or floor, it carries timeless elegance and historical charm.
Authentic vintage and antique Bessarabian kilims are handwoven with wool. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
Pictures are taken in light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature of these rugs, slight imperfections and flaws are not considered defects.
Our kilims are professionally restored, and the fringes secured, ensuring many more years of life. Additionally, we recommend using a rug pad with a grippy back to keep your Kilim rug in place and to smooth out any wrinkles that may have occurred during shipping. Using a rug pad will also safeguard your kilim from deterioration and, therefore, extend its life.
Our kilims are professionally cleaned.
