About the Item

This oversized 11x15 antique Portuguese rug is a spectacular addition to Rug & Kilim’s Antique collection; a masterpiece of Iberian textile history, meticulously hand-knotted in wool and originating from Portugal circa 1900-1920. On the Design: This antique Portuguese rug is from the collection of Y & B Bolour, a museum-quality masterpiece commands absolute reverence as a triumph of traditional Portuguese workshop weaving, anchoring its remarkably balanced, neoclassical layout with a majestic central star medallion and geometricized floral palmettes. Rather than overcrowding the canvas with relentless botanical density, the generous breathing room surrounding each element preserves an open, breezy elegance that establishes a refined dialogue between formal European design principles and the naturalistic freedom of garden aesthetics. Keen eyes will appreciate the luminous, time-mellowed beige and warm cream hues underscore the field, brilliantly illuminated by high-contrast, artistic pops of fiery rust orange and soft gold that trace the silhouettes of the botanical bodies and structured corner accents. The border treatment reveals particular finesse, with a grand primary track of repeating floral cartouches and linked vines providing perfect containment for the sweeping abundance within. Each stylized motif appears to have been captured at the height of bloom, creating a perpetual springtime that speaks to both Portuguese decorative traditions and timeless, aristocratic motifs. Altogether, it’s a fabulous work of European history and an extremely collectible rug for its provenance, worthy of the most sophisticated transitional dining rooms, upscale great rooms, or prestigious private libraries today. Condition: This antique Portuguese rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
