Antique Bessarabian Rug 40525
Antique Bessarabian Rug from Romania, late nineteenth century - While
the weave, coloration, and naturalistic drawing style identify this
charming little rug as an antique Bessarabian from Romania, the
composition with its openwork octagon and the interlacing effect of the
vines betray the influence of the English Arts and Crafts movement,
especially the designs of William Morris. Rarely do we see the
traditions of eastern and Western European weaving blend in such a
charming and elegant. Seen
