Moldavian rugs are emblematic handcrafted works from Moldova, recognized for the richness of their floral motifs, especially roses. These occupy a central place in the aesthetic of Moldavian rugs. A symbol of love, life, and prosperity, the rose brings both a decorative and spiritual dimension to these textile pieces. Traditionally, these rugs were often hung on house walls, where they represented a sign of wealth, family prestige, and cultural heritage.

Dimensions: 243 cm x 152 cm — 7'9'' x 4'9''

Composition: 100% hand-knotted wool

Origin: Moldova

The wool used comes mainly from the Karakul sheep, renowned for the softness, strength, and quality of its fiber. Hand-spun, it gives the rug a rich, warm, and durable texture.

Moldavian artisans traditionally use natural vegetable dyes, such as madder for reds, indigo for blues, or turmeric for yellows, thus creating deep, harmonious, and long-lasting colors.

The weaving of Moldavian rugs varies according to regions and workshops. The model presented here is made using the kilim technique, a flatweave that offers a lighter, more flexible, and reversible result.

In Moldavian folklore, the rug holds a significant symbolic place. Associated with femininity, the home, and family transmission, it was often carefully crafted by the women of the house and passed down from generation to generation as a precious testament to talent and artistic sense.
