8 x 11 Antique Portuguese Needlepoint Arraiolos Rug 77210

77210 Antique Portguese Needlepoint Arraiolos Rug, 07’11 x 11’02. 

This daintily needlepoint antique Arraiolos rug features an all-over pattern of tiny florals amidst a flurry of leafy tendrils. The tendrils form a rapturing latticework across the carpet plane, inhabited by tiny birds in complementary colors. This special breed of needlepoint was created using the "Arraiolos Stitch," a long-armed cross-stitch perfected by the needlewomen of Arraiolos, a charming village in southern Portugal. A warm variegated olive-green border featuring a single undulating tendril frames the composition, bursting with additional floral ornament. With its vibrant patterns and handwoven excellence, this antique Arraiolos rug charms guests in nearly any interior it graces.
