About the Item
This antique Moldovan rug dates to the early 20th century, circa 1900–1920, and reflects the rich decorative weaving traditions of Eastern Europe. The rug measures approximately 8 ft 0 in x 9 ft 6 in (about 244 x 290 cm), placing it firmly in the room-size category suitable for primary living spaces. It is hand-knotted with a wool pile on a cotton foundation, using a traditional symmetrical knot structure. The pile height averages around 5 mm, offering a balanced profile that combines softness with long-term durability typical of well-made antique domestic rugs from the region.
The design centers on a large pictorial floral bouquet set against a dark chocolate brown field, creating a strong focal composition rather than an allover repeat. Surrounding the field is a wide, richly articulated floral border with linear stem elements, roses, leaves, and foliage motifs. The palette is grounded in deep brown and animated by warm golden yellows, burnt coral reds, soft beige, and subtle accents of mauve and sage. The contrast between the dark ground and luminous floral elements gives the rug depth and visual drama while maintaining a cohesive, earthy harmony.
Constructed with a medium-density hand-knotted wool pile, the rug has a supple yet stable handle and a woven foundation without adhesives or later backing. The knot density and moderate warp depression support good structural integrity, making the rug suitable for regular residential use in low to moderate traffic areas. Its wool pile is resilient and forgiving, while the darker ground helps disguise minor soil and everyday wear.
From a design perspective, this rug works particularly well in formal living rooms, libraries, bedrooms, or curated sitting rooms where a strong decorative statement is desired. Its pictorial style pairs naturally with traditional, eclectic, or layered interiors, complementing warm woods, classic upholstery, and heritage-inspired color schemes. The room-size scale allows it to anchor seating arrangements or sit comfortably beneath a bed, while its antique status and solid rarity rating support long-term decorative and collectible value.
The condition is best described as very good for an antique rug of this age. The pile shows even, honest wear consistent with age, with no visible stains, color run, or structural repairs noted. Selvedges are intact, the foundation is sound, and the colors remain clear and stable. Routine professional cleaning with low moisture and appropriate dye testing is recommended to preserve its condition and decorative character.
