Moldovan carpets are emblematic artisanal works from Moldova, renowned for their rich floral motifs, especially roses. They play a central role in the aesthetic of Moldovan carpets. A symbol of love, life, and prosperity, the rose brings both a decorative and spiritual dimension to these textile pieces. Traditionally, these carpets were often hung on the walls of houses, where they represented a sign of wealth, family prestige, and cultural heritage.

Dimensions: 234 cm x 134 cm — 7'6'' x 4'3''

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 carpet 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, thus creating deep, harmonious, and long-lasting colors.

The weaving of Moldovan carpets 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 finish.

In Moldovan folklore, the carpet holds an important symbolic place. Associated with femininity, 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 testimony of talent and artistic sense.
