Besarabian refers to a European rug design category originally associated with the historic Bessarabia region on the western shore of the Black Sea, encompassing parts of modern Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine. Rugs in this style are known for decorative floral and naturalistic motifs, often rooted in late 19th- to early 20th-century carpet traditions that blend Western European and Oriental influences. This interpretation is hand-woven in Afghanistan using traditional hand-knotting techniques. It is made from wool, reflecting the classic material characteristic of Bessarabian textile heritage.
