Antique Moldovan Rug "Feodora's Roses" (Not For Sale)

It is likely the wool for the rug was colored with natural dyes sourced by local natural dye experts from plants, flowers, trees and minerals.

The field of the rug is decorated with two medallions: identical rose bouquets. The date of the weaving (1900) is inscripted on the rug together with an Old Cyrillic letter that might stand for the name initial of the weaver or the person the rug would be gifted to.
