The carpets collection, containing 172 pieces has a special documentary and artistic value.
Made with the weaving machine, in wool, the carpets amplified through their use the beauty of the house traditional interior.
The collection contains carpets with various sizes, from those narrow and long placed on the wall (paretar) or covering pieces of traditional furniture (laicer) to those big, rectangular, which cover a wall (polog, scoarta, covor).
The decorative compositions are noticeable for their evolution from the simple to complex, from the repetition and alternation of stripes (vraste) to various associations between geometric, avimorphic, zoomorphic, floral or anthropomorphic motives. The motives names are suggestive and reflect the relation between the man and nature and his daily occupations (mill wings, water wave, dyed egg, bed tester’s flower, vine).
The manner of motives expression varies from that stylised and geometric to the free drawing.
In the collection frame, the carpets having complex compositions consisting in bunches of flowers, birds, scenes of urban life in a naturalist interpretation and disposed in medallions are noticeable.
The chromatic varies between the subdued colours (green, ochre, sea blue tones) and those strong (yellow, orange, red). The black (generally used as background) and the white (used to put certain motives into evidence) counterbalance the chromatic compositions.
