Romanian handwoven carpet with blue ground and yellow details

Vintage carpet made by hand in romania, about 50-70 years ago, a very beautiful rustic design yet very contemporary. In average good conditions considering the age, just little signs of the time where the wool is rare and few little spots where it was repaired. The colours are very beautiful, the blue is gorgeous and the yellow makes a very interesting contrast. In romania, years ago, every mom handmade for her daughters beautiful carpets and rugs as dot for their weddings. I grown up with this: every winter, at my grandmother' s house, women from the village, neighbors and relatives, spend the evenings and those long winter nights together, working on beautiful wool rugs or other handmade items. Nowadays the art of handcrafting rugs is almost extinguished. Now, we are trying to discover and put into the modern design context these beauties. This is our story.
