Product description
Arraiolos tapestry is a traditional, hand-embroidered wool tapestry made in the town of Arraiolos in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Dating back to at least the 16th century, these rugs use a specialized oblique cross-stitch on a coarse linen or jute canvas to create dense, flat-surfaced floor coverings with Persian, Moorish, and European floral influences. Here we offer an Arraiolos tapestry cushion, dating 1930s. It features a unique hand woven design or a rustic jute canvas and a new army green colored backing material. The colors are muted natural tones, just typical to the Portuguese design dating back a 100 years. Back opening for inserting a rectangular cushion. Not just a cushion, but a small piece of Portuguese history and craftsmanship. The cushion cover is 50cm x 50cm including the fringe and 45x45cm excluding, and is in a very good condition. Please note that we sell only the cover not the cushion.
