Antique Bessarabian Russian Floral Allover Flatweave Wool Rug In Crimson – Circa 1920 BB9116 11'6" × 13'7" $38,000

This striking antique Bessarabian rug from the 1920s showcases the region’s signature floral artistry rendered in bold, graphic form. Set against a vibrant red field, large stylized blossoms in warm golden ochre are framed by scrolling vine motifs and leafy accents in soft olive and muted brown tones. A finely detailed floral border completes the composition, lending the piece a sense of balance and traditional elegance.

Handwoven as a flat-weave kilim, the rug displays crisp geometric outlines and a beautifully aged patina that speaks to its century-old heritage. The harmonious palette of rich reds, earthy neutrals, and golden highlights brings warmth and character, making this piece an exceptional accent for both classic and contemporary interiors. Its decorative presence works equally well as a statement living room rug, a dramatic dining area centerpiece, or a refined addition to a curated collection of antique textiles.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
