    Hi,
    I am from Moldova which i also called Besarabia. It is a bessarabian rug, but sure not from 1890, but nearly 1950-1960. The reason is that till the second WorlD War rugs had another desigh and there didn’t exist any artificial colorants as to make a rug like this.If you are interested in our handmade rugs can contact me on [email protected] and can see more photoshttp://www.pinterest.com/handmadecarpet/handmade-carpets/

    Hi,

    all these rugs are moldavian rugs (also wrongly called bessarabian rugs) or rose kilim rugs. All the kilim rugs from Moldova have floral medalion with roses or a mixted bouquet of flowers including roses. The two firs rugs in your post are made in the beginning of the last century, i can see it by the colors that are not bright, the last one in a “recent rug” made probably in the ’60 -’70.
    These rugs are not made any more as the local demande for them doesn’t exist.

    Such rugs can be bought on on on-line turkish rug seller, but they have a limited choise of rugs and are expensive because of intermediates. There are few on line shops specialized in moldavian rugs only. One of them is https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rugstory
