Inspired by Persian and Mughal garden carpets, this hand-woven wool chainstitch rug features a deep forest green lattice of interlocking ogival vines, each compartment filled with a variety of flowering plants in peach, gold, sage, and soft blue. The repeating botanical trellis conveys richness, symmetry, and a sense of paradise brought to life underfoot. A wide green border with scrolling foliage frames the field elegantly, reinforcing the garden motif to the edges. Crafted entirely by hand on a cotton foundation, the flatweave chainstitch ensures durability and refinement, making this a floor covering of both historical resonance and contemporary livability.

Story Behind the Art:Portuguese Arraiolos rugs, originating from the town of Arraiolos, Portugal, have been hand-stitched since at least the 17th century, blending Persian-inspired patterns with Portuguese textile artistry. Created using cross-stitch embroidery on woven jute or linen bases, these wool rugs feature geometric or floral motifs, often with central medallions and decorative borders. Arraiolos rugs are lightweight yet durable, making them both functional and visually appealing. Over centuries, their designs have incorporated Moorish and European influences, resulting in a distinctive style that embodies cultural heritage, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring decorative charm.
