Antique Moldova Floral Medallion Hand Knotted Pile Rug, Country of Origin: Moldova, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional square piece, hailing from the Bessarabian region, showcases the distinctive European influence prevalent in early 20th-century weaving. We specialize in sourcing the finest antique rugs of this period, characterized by their painterly designs and robust construction. The composition is defined by a striking, deep field of variegated brown earth tone color rugs, providing a dramatic canvas for the highly stylized central bouquet. The sophisticated use of natural dyes creates subtle striations (abrash) across the background, lending textural depth and authenticity to the hand-knotted wool pile. Dominated by a grand central medallion, the design features an exuberant cluster of roses and foliage rendered in vibrant crimson, pink, and sage tones.
