Made with hand-knotted wool, this 12x15 antique Portuguese needlepoint rug is a rare new oversized curation in Rug & Kilim’s European rug collection—believed to originate in the early 20th century. On the Design: This piece features a particularly whimsical design, with floral patterns as commendable in their detail as they are playful in their choice of colors. Beige and cream hues underscore the piece, with floral patterns in such colorful tones—a particularly fabulous transitional piece, full of movement and playful touches the keen eye will appreciate. The border treatment reveals particular finesse, with its undulating sage-green frame providing perfect containment for the garden-like abundance within. Each floral element appears to have been captured at the height of bloom, creating a perpetual springtime that speaks to both Portuguese decorative traditions and timeless garden motifs. Here we witness the refined dialogue between formal European design principles and the naturalistic freedom of cottage garden aesthetics—a hallmark of superior Portuguese textile arts. It’s a fabulous work of European history, and an extremely collectible rug for its provenance, worthy of the most sophisticated projects today. Condition: This antique Portuguese rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin—an impressive find among needlepoint rugs of a celebrated weaving tradition. The piece has some minor blemishes that will be tailored before delivery.
