About the Item
Extra Large Antique Portuguese Area Rug
Size: 18'5" × 41'7" (561 × 1267 cm)
An extra large Portuguese needlework wool rug from the first half of the 20th century. The soft cream field is covered with an allover lattice formed by curving vinery in ivory, green, caramel and rust. The narrow border contains flowerheads and scrolling vinery.
The ancient craft of needlepoint, also known as ‘canvas needle-work’, ‘canvas embroidery’ or ‘petit point’ flourished most notably in Western Europe.
Rug weaving was introduced to Spain and Portugal during the Moorish occupation and continued throughout the centuries. The present rug was a product of a commercial industry that appeared from the sixteenth century onwards.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
