There is in Romania a richness of folk textile tradition that is astounding. Museums all over the country are filled with carefully selected and documented forms of all folk crafts. For the past 100 years ethnographers and historians have assembled an archival system of folk crafts that show awareness, value and pride in the uniquely Romanian folk traditions. This catalog research began with the purpose to bring enough fine examples together for an exhibition which would both please the curious and satisfy the folk craft expert. Represented here are some fine antique textiles and many of them are treasured family pieces of priceless personal value. Includes costumes with some patterns as well as wall-hangings and rugs.
