19th Century European Portuguese Rug

About the Item

When many people think of carpets, what comes to mind are the pile rugs and traditional kilims of the middle east. Kilims are similar to a tapestry weaving and have a flat weave, as opposed to a soft, plush raised pile. However, these are not the only two methods used to create beautiful carpets. Needlepoint is another traditional craft that has a special place in the historical traditions of carpet weaving. Portuguese needlepoint rugs are a special class of carpets that have a unique history, particularly in the village of Arraiolos. Let’s explore the story behind these beautiful carpets.
