About the Item

One-of-a-kind Vintage Portuguese Needlepoint Carpet Size: 14'6" × 14'9" (441 × 449 cm). This exceptional vintage Portuguese needlepoint rug, crafted circa 1940, exemplifies the rich textile heritage of Arraiolos, a town in southern Portugal renowned for its needlework traditions. Measuring approximately 14'6" × 14'9" (441 × 449 cm), the rug features a creamy caramel field adorned with a spacious lattice of green vinery, punctuated by pink flowers at the intersections. A gray flowering vine border frames the composition, enhancing its botanical elegance. Arraiolos rugs are distinguished by their use of the long-armed cross-stitch technique, executed with hand-dyed wool on linen or cotton canvas. This method produces intricate patterns with a distinctive texture, reflecting centuries-old craftsmanship. The design's harmonious color palette and flowing motifs make it a versatile piece, suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. 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.
