Torn between the influences of the Ottoman Empire to the south and Russian and Slavic countries to the north, this flat-woven kilim from the Bessarabian region of Eastern Europe features a double floral medallion inspired by English crewelwork and the tapestry designs of Western Europe while the vibrant colors and red-on-black color scheme is completely Romanian. The unique border with cropped floral patterns gives the composition of this antique Bessarabian rug a contemporary feeling.
