About the Item

78976 Vintage Portuguese Needlepoint Arraiolos Rug, 05'02 x 05'02. This vintage Portuguese Arraiolos needlepoint rug embodies a timeless elegance, showcasing the rich heritage of Portuguese textile artistry. Handcrafted in the late 20th century, it reflects the distinct craftsmanship of the Arraiolos region, where artisans are renowned for their intricate stitching and ornamental designs. The Arraiolos rug's central medallion, with its soft circular motifs in pastel tones, evokes a delicate sense of balance and harmony, making it a standout piece in nearly any interior. Each stitch contributes to its enchanting allure, with a design reminiscent of antique European needlework traditions, woven through centuries of skillful craft. The medallion, framed by an elegant border of entwined vines and blossoming flowers, brings the natural world indoors, paying homage to the pastoral landscapes of Portugal. The carefully stitched floral motifs that decorate the borders offer a romantic narrative, evoking images of lush countryside gardens in bloom. The pink and green hues, delicately interwoven into the design, complement each other and give the needlepoint rug a soft, inviting appearance, perfect for creating a serene atmosphere in any room. This Arraiolos needlepoint rug is crafted from wool on a sturdy canvas, ensuring durability without sacrificing the beauty of its detailed pattern. The pink field, softened by a surrounding light green frame, enhances the central design, creating a harmonious flow across this woven wonder. The expert craftsmanship is evident in the consistent and clean stitching, while the wool fibers imbue the piece with warmth and texture. The subtle palette of soft pastels and earth tones creates a soothing effect, ideal for both modern and traditional interiors. A historical gem, this Arraiolos rug serves not only as a decorative element but as a symbol of Portuguese cultural legacy. The art of Arraiolos needlework, deeply rooted in the Iberian Peninsula's history, has been passed down through generations, blending influences from Moorish designs with European baroque sensibilities. This unique piece captures the essence of this tradition, celebrating Portugal’s storied past while offering a timeless beauty that enhances contemporary spaces. Its intricate needlework and captivating design make it an exceptional collector’s piece and a testament to the enduring appeal of handcrafted textiles. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Wool Blend and Canvas.
