Story Behind the Art: Arraiolos rugs, crafted in Portugal since the 17th century, blend Persian design influence with distinctive European artistry. Made with cross-stitch embroidery on a jute or linen base, these rugs feature symmetrical floral or geometric motifs, often anchored by a central medallion and bordered by decorative frames. Traditionally woven in wool, they are celebrated for their durability, lightweight structure, and cultural fusion of Moorish and European design elements. Arraiolos rugs remain an enduring symbol of Portuguese textile heritage.
