Moldovan rugs are iconic artisanal works from Moldova, recognized for the richness of their floral motifs, and more specifically roses. They occupy a central place in the aesthetics of Moldovan 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: 180 cm x 277 cm — 5'9'' x 9'

Composition: 100% hand-knotted wool

Origin: Moldova

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

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

The weaving of Moldovan rugs varies depending on the regions and workshops. The model presented here is made using the kilim technique, a flatweave that offers a lighter, more flexible, and reversible finish.

In Moldovan folklore, the rug holds significant symbolic importance. 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.
