Signed Vintage Portuguese Tapestry with Romantic Pictorial, from Rug & Kilim

About the Item

Handwoven in wool and originating from Portugal circa 1960-1970, this 4x4 signed vintage tapestry featuring romantic pictorial patterns is a bold new addition to our accessories collection. On the design: Connoisseurs may admire this exquisite 20th-century Portuguese tapestry, formerly of the renowned Teppich Engelhardt collection, masterfully blending classical motifs with mid-century aesthetics. Depicting two enigmatic lovers in soft, pastel hues against a stylized cityscape, the piece evokes both Portuguese craftsmanship and Grecian influences. The lovers' identities remain a subject of scholarly intrigue, ranging from the tragic Portuguese tale of Pedro and Inês to various classical Greek mythological pairs, adding an air of mystery that enhances its allure. Admirers of the craft may note that this is well-suited for wall display and can be integrated into both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors, with its delicate palette and minimalist composition speaking to a refined sensibility. As a testament to Portuguese weaving traditions and the enduring appeal of classical themes in modern design, this tapestry stands as a singular acquisition for discerning collectors who appreciate the intersection of history, craftsmanship, and aesthetic innovation. Condition This tapestry further enjoys good condition for its age and origin—exclusively for hanging on the wall. Designers and collectors may enquire about further uses, and a member of our team will reach out.
