Bessarabian/Calabak Kilim
A lovely Bessarabian kilim showcasing the gentle, fresh green of young grass.
The black ground weave complements this beautifully, creating an intriguing interplay of weightiness and lightness—a sense reminiscent of spring's arrival after winter.
The central field features delicate geometric patterns reminiscent of European lacework and design.
The motifs within the inner border display European heraldic-inspired patterns.
The outer border presents more representational floral and leaf designs.
While Anatolian kilims also feature connected floral and leaf motifs, these carry a distinctly different character.
Collecting two or three kilims allows you to appreciate such subtle variations—one of the true pleasures of kilim collecting.
There's also something endearingly charming about this piece, reminiscent of Tyrolean ribbon trim. One can almost imagine enjoying afternoon tea at a small café table placed atop such a kilim. SKU： k23618 Size： 138cm x 192cm Origin： Bessarabia Period： Semi-Antique Kilim Materials： Wool × Cotton
