“Serra Verde” – Brazilian Hand-Stitched Rug by Izabel do Recife

About the Item

“Serra Verde” – Brazilian Hand-Stitched Rug by Izabel do Recife – Arraiolos Tradition, 1970s A magnificent example of Brazilian craftsmanship, this hand-stitched rug titled “Serra Verde” was masterfully created in the 1970s by the renowned atelier Izabel do Recife. Executed entirely by hand, this piece follows the traditional Portuguese Arraiolos embroidery technique, faithfully adapted to Brazilian artistry. The design is a harmonious symphony of scrolling foliage, flourishes, and stylized motifs arranged around a central medallion, all framed by richly detailed borders. Its balanced palette of soft sage green, terracotta, ivory, and beige evokes an atmosphere of timeless elegance and warmth. The intricate needlework is rendered in wool over a strong canvas base, using the classical cross-stitch technique that defines Arraiolos rugs. The name “Serra Verde” is meticulously hand-stitched onto the rug itself, alongside the atelier’s signature “Izabel do Recife”, certifying its authenticity and provenance. This is more than a decorative object — it is a testament to a refined craft tradition that bridges Portuguese heritage and Brazilian creativity. A collector’s piece that brings sophistication, history, and artisanal charm to any space, whether classic or contemporary.
