Rare antique Romanian rug, about 80-100 years old, handwoven in wool, red with colourful geometric a

Very old authentic romanian rug, beginning of the last century, handmade in wool in transylvania. Elegant red background with geometric and stylised floral design. It is a very rare find, very old but in a good shape, just few small signs as in the pictures. It is originally from transylvania, very well made and conserved. Old, very rare find. 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.
