{"product_id":"bessarabian-kilim","title":"Bessarabian Kilim","description":"\u003cb\u003eA remarkably vibrant and bold Bessarabian kilim.\n\nIn kilim weaving, individual color sections of certain parts and motifs are woven against the warp threads, with the same process repeated in different colors to create the overall composition. Observing this technique reveals how exceptional the weaver's ability must be—both in mentally visualizing such representational, painterly motifs and in the technical skill required to execute them through weaving.\n\nThe way yarn shadows express the form of flowers, and the tradition of depicting plants within textiles, are likely abilities that developed gradually over generations. Through centuries of knowledge passed down among the women of this region, such skills became second nature.\n\nThe foundation presents a sophisticated palette: flowers in pink and blue against a black ground. The corners feature flowers executed in orange and red. Ornamental sections arranged like a table runner employ purple and yellow—the latter seemingly evoking gold—adding considerable strength to the composition. In contrast, the central area maintains a very natural, understated quality.\n\nThese elements harmonize beautifully, creating a kilim of perfect balance—neither overly bold nor excessively ornate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cspan\u003eSKU：\u003c\/span\u003e k23633\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cspan\u003eSize：\u003c\/span\u003e 132cm x 197cm\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cspan\u003eOrigin：\u003c\/span\u003e Bessarabia\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cspan\u003ePeriod：\u003c\/span\u003e Semi-Antique Kilim\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cspan\u003eMaterial：\u003c\/span\u003e Wool × Cotton\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700797505832,"sku":"K23633","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/K23633_5a30dbc5-5126-42fe-877d-75cc8bb10334.jpg?v=1776124800","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/bessarabian-kilim","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
