Moldovan rugs are iconic artisanal pieces from Moldova, renowned for their rich floral motifs, especially roses. Roses hold a central place in the aesthetic of Moldovan rugs. As symbols of love, life, and prosperity, roses bring 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: 183 cm x 498 cm — 6' x 16'3''

Composition: 100% hand-knotted wool

Origin: Moldova

The wool used primarily comes 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, or turmeric for yellows, thereby 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 result.

In Moldovan 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.
