Moldovan carpets are emblematic craftworks from Moldova, recognized for their rich floral patterns, especially roses. They hold a central place 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 homes, where they represented a sign of wealth, family prestige, and cultural heritage.

Dimensions: 140 cm x 207 cm — 4'5'' x 6'7''

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


The weaving of Moldovan carpets varies by region and workshop. The model presented here is hand-knotted with long pile.

In Moldovan folklore, the carpet holds significant symbolic importance. Associated with femininity, the home, and family transmission, it was often carefully crafted by the women of the household and passed down through generations as a precious testament to talent and artistic sensibility.
