Vintage Bessarabian Rose Kilim Rug 380 x 225 cm (12'5" x 7'4") – Black Floral Wool Area Rug, Moldova
No two pieces are alike — each one carries the hand of the person who made it.
A large, museum-worthy vintage Bessarabian rose kilim – hand-woven in Bessarabia (Moldova) roughly 30–40 years ago and in impeccable condition. Giant pink, crimson and golden roses bloom against a deep black field, framed by teal and emerald acanthus leaves, ornate scrolled cartouches and a rich border of golden volutes and stylised urns.
Rugs like this were woven as heirloom pieces for family homes across Bessarabia, and the dramatic black-ground "rose" design is among the most sought-after styles of Eastern European folk weaving. At 380 x 225 cm it is a true statement piece for a living room, dining room, loft or large bedroom.

The rug is full of flowers : daffodils, tulips, roses, ears of wheat. The more you look the more you see.The carriage was easy , after all it came a long way. The owner was very helpful and kept me informed.
This rug is very special. Probably 60s it’s wool and made in narrow strips. It’s faded over the years ..but still bright. Anyone who loves colour should consider looking towards Eastern Europe, where you can find something different.
Very nice product, helpful and open minded seller. Warmly recomended “MadewithloveRO” !
My beautiful carpet arrived perfectly packed and very quickly. I love it and am not wrong. Thank you

Very beautiful rug, the central piece of our home now on the Mediteranean coast in France! We are very lucky to have it and very happy with our purchase. Everything went smootly, good communication with the seller, I highly recommend them! We will defintely buy again from them.
They are so well done, and I don't mean just the quality but the creativity of the pieces. Spectacular!
It makes you want to be at home, and after these past few months of being home 100% of the time, it really boosts creativity and puts everyone in a good mood!
Beautiful handmade piece! The wool is incredibly soft and the colors are absolutely stunning, it fits perfectly in our neutral-toned space. Communication and delivery were both smooth and hassle-free, and the item is even more beautiful in person; the photos simply don’t do it justice. We even received a lovely little gift with our purchase. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
