This exceptional 1880s Bessarabian flatweave rug captivates with its intricate medallion-and-rosette pattern set against a richly hued field.

Handwoven with time-softened wool, this antique Bessarabian displays the region’s signature marriage of Eastern ornament and European decorative taste, making it a remarkable statement piece for both traditional and eclectic interiors.
