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 desing 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 40cm x 40cm and is in good condition.
Please note that we sell only the cover not the cushion.
