This antique early 20th century flat woven Bessarabian kilim rug is a breathtaking departure from the typical floral aesthetics of Eastern Europe, representing a rare intersection of nomadic folk art and early 20th century structural modernism. Historically, Bessarabian kilims (from the region encompassing modern-day Romania, Moldova and Ukraine) were famous for their lush, "Rose and Leaf" French-inspired patterns; however, this specific specimen is a significant rarity due to its bold geometric vocabulary and its extraordinary Teal-centric palette. The composition is a virtuoso display of the Geometric Flatweave rugs. Eschewing the romantic bouquets of the "Rococo" Bessarabian style, this rug features a rhythmic, interlocking grid of diamonds or stylized "Sun" medallions.
