About the Item

Antique Portuguese Needlepoint Rug Size: 9'0" × 18'5" (274 × 561 cm) This stunning antique Portuguese needlepoint rug from the 1940s offers an exceptional combination of mid-century charm and artisanal craftsmanship. Woven entirely by hand using the traditional Portuguese needlepoint technique, the piece features a highly geometric and stylized all-over pattern composed of rows of inverted V-shaped motifs in alternating navy blue and ivory tones set against a warm beige ground. The result is a rhythmic visual effect that is both playful and sophisticated. The tightly worked needlepoint creates a flat weave with a supple but firm texture, demonstrating precision and expertise in execution. Close inspection reveals the characteristic backstitching of authentic Portuguese needlework, while a narrow border in matching beige helps frame and unify the composition. Condition is overall very good for its age, with minor signs of wear consistent with vintage textile work, including a few small areas of re-stitching and surface irregularities that speak to its authenticity and history. The rug’s neutral palette paired with its strong pattern makes it an excellent choice for both modern and traditional interiors seeking texture, structure, and a touch of historical depth. This rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a decorative treasure but also a testament to the enduring legacy of Iberian textile artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
