Bessarabian Russian Antique Allover Floral Light Beige Flatweave Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB7549 9'0" × 14'3" $32,000

Woven in Bessarabia, Russia around 1900, this antique flatwoven wool carpet reflects the refined floral language of the Bessarabian tradition. Its light beige field is organized with evenly spaced botanical bouquets, creating an allover antique rug design that feels structured without becoming rigid.

Each small cluster combines rust-toned blooms, warm taupe leaves, and touches of soft blue, giving the surface a muted but nuanced palette. The repeat has a trellis-like regularity, yet the handwoven variations keep the composition lively and distinctly artisanal. Rather than relying on a central medallion, the design lets the floral rhythm carry the eye across the full field.

A deep brown border packed with leafy vines and blossoms frames the composition and adds definition to the open ground. Flatweave construction gives this Russian rug a lighter visual presence, while the wool pile keeps the texture grounded and inviting. It is well suited to interiors seeking a tailored floral accent with historic character and subtle color.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
