Please note that this is a handwoven piece & certain faults are apparent: the overall width of the rug is of 80 cm, but please consider the fact that the on some areas it shrinks to 78 cm - please take an attentive look to the pictures, specifically picture 6. in Romania women used to weave carpets & fabrics. Until the industrialization, which has expanded throughout Romania after the end of WW2, Romanian women used to make cloths & carpets by hand in their households. The process was tedious, because in order to weave a carpet, one actually needed to first spin the wool, which had previously been washed & processed in a very specific manner, dye the thread, set up & warp the loom etc. & only afterwards one could begin with bringing to life the most intricate & colourful designs. Most of this work, was done during the long winter evenings, close to the stove, when women used to get together, to do their work & tell stories. Carpets were part of the dowry of every young girl, & they used to embellish the walls of the peasants houses. Nowadays the art of weaving carpets on a loom is slowly extinguishing. Romanian & Moldovan traditional wall-carpets are part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Blue & Brown Geometric Designed, Vintage Handmade Moldovan/Romanian Rug/ Tapis Moldave
