Large Vintage Romanian Wool Shawl – Traditional Folk Winter Headscarf

This large vintage Romanian wool headscarf is a beautiful example of traditional Eastern European textile . Measuring approximately 114 x 117 cm (excluding the fringes), it was traditionally worn by women in regions like Transylvania and Moldova as part of the Romanian folk costume, especially during the colder months.

The piece is made from a wool blend, giving it both warmth and durability. Its generous size allows it to be worn draped over the head or shoulders, offering both function and folk elegance. One area on the inner side shows mild discoloration, likely from contact with a hot iron in the past. However, this flaw is only visible on the reverse and does not affect the overall appearance when worn.

Despite this minor imperfection, the shawl remains in good vintage condition and is a rare, authentic addition to any folk costume collection. It can be appreciated as a wearable heritage piece or used in textile displays, traditional reenactments, or folk art collections.
