The tradition of Oltenian Carpets

CA10-a
carpet with green border

Authentic art is born in the village and the intrinsic value of the popular tradition brings over the centuries the synthesis of a civilization passed through the filter of time. Perfect for years and people’s experience, the models promoted in the art of traditional weaving bring before the authentic Romanian art lover a long-gone world. A world of superstitions consolidated around the hearth of the house, of the animated nature and of the divinity.

The traditional Romanian crafts, still practiced in all ethnographic areas of Romania, can be raised to the rank of great art in terms of their potential for the field of traditionally inspired interior decorations, because the essential feature of the traditional Romanian interior is that it forms a rich ensemble of a great artistic variety.

These crafts are learned from an early age, and the Oltenia area is well known for the passion and efforts of people to carry on traditional art.

The grace for this occupation was inherited from the mother, and passed on to the children, but today’s generations are less interested in tradition and all that means occupations left by ancestors.
