About the Item
1930s Portuguese Arraiolos Needlepoint Carpet ( 14'2" x 23' - 432 x 702 )
Antique Oversized Portugal Floral, Medallion Stitched Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional Portuguese textile captures the refined elegance of European court carpets, particularly those influenced by the French Savonnerie and Aubusson traditions. Its construction, described as "stitched," suggests a flatwoven or needlepoint technique, prioritizing intricate detail over deep pile, characteristic of fine antique rugs.
The palette is defined by sophisticated restraint. The expansive field utilizes a luminous ivory and cream tone, providing a perfect, neutral canvas that allows the botanical motifs to flourish without visual weight. This soft foundation ensures the rug maintains an airy and spacious quality, even with its dense patterning, making it adaptable to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
A symmetrical design unfolds from a subtle central medallion, radiating elaborate scrolling acanthus leaves and stylized floral sprays. The secondary colors—sage green, muted gold, and touches of terracotta—are expertly balanced, creating a sense of natural grace and movement across the entire surface. The border echoes the field's exuberance, framing the composition with delicate precision.
Beyond its aesthetic merit, the sheer scale of this piece makes it a significant decorative asset. Finding large oversized rugs from this period with such delicate European styling is rare. This textile is ideally suited to anchor a grand salon or formal dining room, offering both historical depth and a refreshing, light color story.
