About the Item

77210 Antique Portuguese Needlepoint Arraiolos Rug, 07’11 x 11’02. Arraiolos rugs are a celebrated form of traditional Portuguese craftsmanship, originating from the town of Arraiolos. These handcrafted wool embroideries are known for their intricate designs, which include symmetrical patterns, floral motifs, and historical scenes, drawing influence from Persian carpets. Crafted using a unique cross-stitch technique on wool with a jute or linen canvas, these rugs are built to be durable enough for floor use. Renowned for their vibrant colors and deep cultural significance, Arraiolos rugs are a cherished element of Portugal’s heritage, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of the region. In a delicate dance of craftsmanship, this antique Portuguese Arraiolos rug captivates with an all-over pattern of tiny florals woven amid a flurry of leafy tendrils. These tendrils weave a spellbinding latticework across the carpet's expanse, creating a backdrop that seems to breathe with life. Tiny birds, painted in hues that harmonize with their surroundings, add a playful touch to the intricate garden scene. Crafted with the "Arraiolos Stitch"—a long-armed cross-stitch meticulously perfected by the skilled needlewomen of Arraiolos, a picturesque village in southern Portugal—this rug exemplifies a unique blend of artistry and tradition. The technique imbues the fabric with a robustness fit for the wear of time, while maintaining the delicate allure of its detailed motifs. Framed by a warm, variegated olive-green border that features a sinuous tendril, the Portuguese Arraiolos rug bursts with an additional cascade of floral embellishments. This framing not only enhances the visual appeal but also encapsulates the enchanting essence of this masterpiece. With its vibrant patterns and handwoven excellence, this antique Arraiolos rug casts a spell of charm and elegance, making it a treasured addition to nearly any interior it adorns. Rendered in variegated shades of saffron, light yellow, buff, khaki, olive, pistachio, moss, ecru, tan, camel, champagne, beige, rust, and terracotta. Abrash. Needlepoint wool rug. Made in Portugal. Measures: 07'11 x 11'02. Date: 1920s. Early 20th Century.
