Romanian Kilim
Romanian Kilim, circa 1940.
Its pattern is very modern and totaly unusual.
Its wool is very soft.
Romanian kilims are woven from fine to medium wools, and the weft may be cotton.
The motifs of these carpets are very European. They represent nature, flowers and birds, very much inspired by Romanian popular culture.
The color palette is very varied, but green is always used for foliage, and white or beige for contrast.
Weaving: Women learned the art of kilim weaving from their mothers or grandmothers. Kilims were woven by hand, using hand-spun wool, which they dyed as they went along.
Patterns and colors: Each region had its own way of spinning wool, its own patterns and its own palette of colors.
These antique kilims were intended for domestic use.
They were woven without drawing boards, which adds a real personal touch and makes them unique pieces.
Their beauty depends on the way the weaver has interpreted the motifs and combined the colors.
That's why we choose our kilims one by one, to select only the most beautiful.
