Moldovan rugs are iconic artisanal works from Moldova, recognized for their rich floral motifs, especially roses. Roses hold a central place in the aesthetic of Moldovan rugs. As 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 the walls of homes, where they represented a sign of wealth, family prestige, and cultural heritage.

Dimensions: 200 cm x 359 cm — 6'5'' x 11'7''

Composition: 100% hand-knotted wool

Origin: Moldova

The wool used comes mainly from Karakul sheep, renowned for the softness, strength, 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, and turmeric for yellows, creating deep, harmonious, and long-lasting colors.

The weaving of Moldovan 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 finish.

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