Moldavian floral rugs are the masterpieces of Moldavian craftsmanship. They are distinguished from other traditional rugs by their floral patterns on a black background. The floral motifs on Moldavian kilim rugs follow the same pattern: one or more floral bouquets in the centre of the carpet framed by a floral frieze.
The flowers represented on these floral rugs are all those that grow in Moldova: lilies of the valley, tulips, chamomile, bells, geraniums, sunflowers and especially roses of all colours.
The floral motifs on a Moldavian kilim rug are not stylised, but faithful representations of the real models. The success of these floral representations depends on the skill of the weavers. Thus, you have Moldavian kilim rugs with slightly coarse flowers and other Moldavian carpets with finely woven floral patterns.
