Organizarea interiorului țărănesc - Cercetare Nereju, jud. Vrancea (1927)

Iosif Berman · 1927

Between the crafts practiced by the people of the area are also that of the tissue; it developed and spread very quickly from the need for necessity and utility of the objects. An ancient custom, (which today is very rare), is for the future bride to have as many carpets as possible, pillow faces, wiping, tablecloths, etc. These objects used to organize the interior of the house were woven in a horizontal weaving, using wool (natural or painted with plants), flax, hemp or cotton. The image captured by the camera lens brings before the viewer a house interior - the corner with the bed: when joining the ceiling with the wall is an uncut wiping wave made of cotton, and under it a few lanes (peasant carpet of wool that sits on foot or with which the walls are adorned) that had a protective role for wooden houses, better holding the heat in the room. The reasons are geometric in steps, xs, straight lines, avimorfe (cocks). The same motifs are found on the carpet on the bed and on the tablecloth. At the end of the bed are placed other lacquers over which we put some beautifully woven and ornate pillows. On the bed, supported by the wall, are two smaller pillows with hand sewn faces with avimorfe and floral motifs. There are two hand-stitched handkerchiefs and framed shots on the wall.
