Amazing Afghan – Colorful Kazak Rug – Tribal Geometric Carpet – 3’9″ x 5’7″ ft.

Size: 2’3″ x 4’5″ ft.

Antique Bessarabian Kilims and rugs in both pile and tapestry weaving technique are some of the more beautiful carpets to have been produced in Europe. Many of the Bessarabian Kilims were woven around the mid to late 19th century, though some do date back to the 18th century as well. This production that carried into the early twentieth century under late Ottoman Turkish rule in an area corresponding to modern Bulgaria and Romania, they stand right on the cusp of European and Oriental carpet weaving. Many of the designs are floral patterns made in a naturalistic western style utilizing brown or black ground, not unlike certain Karabaghs from the Caucauses. But others, particularly flat weaves, reflect the tradition of Turkish kilims from nearby Anatolia, although in a distinctive Bessarbian palette. In either case they are supremely decorative rugs.

Good condition! No stains, no odor. Sides and ends original. Flatweave. As shown in pictures.
