Story Behind the Art: Portuguese needlepoint rugs, also known as Arraiolos rugs, originated from the town of Arraiolos in Portugal and have been produced since at least the 17th century. These rugs were inspired by Persian carpet designs introduced through trade, and are made using a unique cross-stitch embroidery technique on a woven jute or linen base. Traditionally made from wool, Arraiolos rugs feature symmetrical floral or geometric motifs, often with a central medallion and decorative borders. Over time, the rugs have evolved to incorporate both Moorish and European influences, making them a fusion of cultural artistry that reflects Portuguese textile heritage. Known for their durability, decorative appeal, and relatively lightweight construction compared to pile rugs, Arraiolos rugs remain a beloved part of Portuguese rug-making history.
