Size: 6 ft 11 in x 10 ft 5 in (2.11 m x 3.17 m) - Bessarabian Kilim, Romania Circa Mid Twentieth Century - Crafted in modern-day Romania, this antique Bessarabian kilim showcases a botanical medallion with a de-centralized composition that functions as an airy, light repeating pattern. Wheat-like flower heads, delicately feathered tulips and ornate leaflets are positioned across the mottled field, which features a combination of blushing pink and mulberry red. The level of formality increases in the elegant notched borders, which feature ornamental tulip blossoms and gul-like flower clusters paired with clouds of florets that make an artful incursion into the similarly colored borders. Separating itself from the lavish neoclassic bouquets and opulent European-influenced designs seen in many regional pieces, this antique Romanian kilim embraces a naturalistic sense of style.
