Madder Red & Golden Brown Bessarabian Kilim • Vintage European Flatweave Rug (7'4"x10'6")

Madder Red & Golden Brown Bessarabian Vintage Kilim • Handmade Wool Carpet • 8x10 Floral European Flatweave Area Rug for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining, Kitchen & Nursery

✔  This rug feels grounded and confident, with a quiet elegance that comes from balance rather than excess. The composition is classic and composed, centered around a bold floral medallion that anchors the space without overpowering it. It carries a sense of permanence—decorative, yes, but rooted in tradition and meant to be lived with.

The warm madder-red field sets a rich, welcoming tone, layered with deep charcoal blue and olive green that give the design depth and contrast. A warm golden-brown border, detailed with repeating floral and vine motifs, frames the central medallion beautifully—adding structure, rhythm, and a soft glow that completes the composition and reinforces its classic European character. Soft accents of ivory, parchment beige, muted sage, and pale gold bring lightness and clarity, while touches of rust and brick red add warmth and definition. 

Handwoven entirely from wool, this 1940s vintage kilim has a tight, durable flatweave with a smooth, low-profile surface that’s easy to live with. At 7'4" × 10'6", it works especially well in living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms where you want pattern, warmth, and timeless character without visual heaviness.
