Description
A very soft and pretty Bessarabian Kilim woven in the mid 20th century, in lovely condition and with gentle colours and an elegant floral pattern floating over the main background colour of light blue/grey. Each floral element has different tones and design to replicate barley, poppies, and various other flowers. A really pretty kilim in excellent condition too, the pale purple to lilac tone border is a wonderful colour too.
Woven around the 1950’s it has been looked after and used in a private home for many years, it is rare to find pale Bessarabian kilims of this size in light tones.
Bessarabian rugs and carpets are the commonly given name for rugs in pile and tapestry technique originating in Ukraine and Moldova during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some scholars will classify flat-woven carpets as Bessarabian, while referring to knotted-pile carpets as Ukrainian. They are predominantly from an area corresponding to modern Bulgaria and Romania. Produced under late Ottoman rule, they stand right on the cusp of European and Oriental carpet weaving.

Carpets and kilims were woven with sheep’s wool on the vertical or horizontal looms; sometimes hemp or flax was used for the base. Woollen yarn was dyed with natural dyes from local plants and insects. A group of kilims with floral patterns were produced from central regions of Ukraine (Poltava, Kyiv, Chernihiv) Ornament consists of images of flowers, more or less stylised or branches with flowers arranged rhythmically or related to the overall pattern.
We love how the background of these Kilims have almost a wave like effect, look closely at the image to see this clever weaving technique in the pale blues and the subtle varieties of blue dye. There is also some additional great dyes such as the pink and red tones with yellows and earth greens.
