Handwoven Rug – “Terraço” by Casa Caiada, 1973 – Arraiolos Tradition

About the Item

Handwoven Rug – “Terraço” by Casa Caiada, 1973 – Arraiolos Tradition An exceptional handcrafted rug titled “Terraço”, created in 1973 by the Brazilian atelier Casa Caiada, masterfully employing the ancestral Portuguese Arraiolos embroidery technique. This piece is a faithful expression of a centuries-old tradition brought from Portugal to Brazil, where skilled artisans perpetuated the art of embroidering wool onto a sturdy linen canvas. Each stitch is carefully placed by hand, forming an intricate and harmonious composition that blends geometric precision with floral inspiration. The design features a rich palette of warm terracotta, ochre, gold, ivory, and deep reds, structured around elegant medallions, arabesque forms, and symmetrical motifs. The ornate borders frame a central field that radiates sophistication, echoing the Moorish and Iberian aesthetic influence inherent to the Arraiolos tradition. On the reverse, the rug carries its embroidered signature — “Terraço – Casa Caiada – 1973” — attesting to its provenance and artisanal quality. A true statement piece, this rug is not only a functional item but also an object of cultural heritage — ideal for collectors, designers, or anyone who appreciates timeless, handcrafted excellence.
