Hand woven colorful woolen rug - genuine traditional Romanian folk art
Romanian woven rugs are among the most outstanding examples of perfectly preserved millennial folk art in Europe. We present to you a piece of authentic Romanian folk art, handcrafted in the ethnographically rich region of Moldova, the north-eastern part of Romania. This warm and relaxing woolen rug has been hand woven in an ancient wooden horizontal loom. It is a colorful, natural rug. Both sides of the rug are identical (reversible rug). The whole surface of the rug is decorated with squares in various earth tone colors: the relaxing natural shades of brown and green being alternated with brick-red, black and grey squares, resembling the land of the farmers. As it is made from pure sheep wool, the texture of the rug is rough, offering a rustic feeling, warmth and natural comfort. At both ends it has white hand-knotted cotton fringes.

At countryside, even nowadays we can still admire old women working at their ancient wooden weaving-looms, evoking nostalgic memories. This is a millenary tradition, carefully passed from generation to generation. Some artisans are still producing their own yarns using a spindle, twisting thread from the raw wool.
