Moldavian Kilim 337 X 188 M

Moldavian kilim, wool, circa 1960. Very good condition.

Lots of freshness on this elegant kilim featuring a flower motif on a lightly shaded black background. Two bouquets of flowers, including roses and foliage, are surrounded by a flowery garland acting as a border.

Roses motif (Göl Farangi):
The influence comes from the Damascus rose, whose rose motif inspired Sefevid carpets, which in turn probably influenced European tapestries. At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, the göl farangi motif, which means rose or flower of France, is found in the East on carpets and kilims from Karabagh (Caucasus), on certain Iranian carpets such as those from Bidjar, Senneh and the Bakthiar from the village of Faradoumbeh, as well as on Moldavian (Moldavia) and Göçnems (Bulgaria) kilims from the Balkans.
