Description

...
Elegant antique Portuguese needlepoint from the early 20th century, a stunning flowing leaf and floral design using lovely golds, delicate soft greens and gentle pinks for the flowers. In wonderful condition all over. These Portuguese needlepoints are renowned for their embroidered work in wool on linen. Portugal doesn’t have an extensive history in producing hand-woven carpets although Moorish carpet weavers worked in Portugal until the early 15th century until they were expelled.
Arraiolos is where these Portuguese needlework carpets are from a town in the province of Alto Alentejo in southern Portugal. The weave on this needlepoint is Arraiolos long-armed cross-stitch along with hand dyed wool using natural dyes.
The Portuguese are also known for weaving specific types of Portuguese rugs that are called Alpujarra Rugs. These floor coverings from Portugal are unique and feature pile in loops, made primarily in Spain from the fifteenth to the nineteenth century in the Alpujarras district, which is located south of Granada.
