Story Behind the Art: Portuguese needlepoint rugs, widely known as Arraiolos rugs, trace their origins to the town of Arraiolos in Portugal and date back to at least the 17th century. Influenced by Persian carpets brought through trade, these rugs are created using a distinctive cross-stitch embroidery technique applied to a woven linen or jute base. Traditionally made with wool yarns, Arraiolos rugs often display symmetrical floral or geometric patterns, frequently centered around a medallion and framed by decorative borders. Appreciated for their durability, decorative richness, and lighter construction compared to pile rugs, they gradually absorbed Moorish and European stylistic elements. This fusion of influences helped establish Arraiolos rugs as a unique and enduring expression of Portuguese textile heritage.
