EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century carpet hails from Carpet, Portugal, a region renowned for its rich textile heritage. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The carpet is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the time, with its intricate design and meticulous execution. The carpet is made of linen plain weave, with the patterns embroidered using wool and hemp chenille yarn, couched with hemp. The vibrant colors and bold patterns are a feast for the eyes, showcasing the skillful use of needlework and weaving techniques. The design is cut to form pile, adding texture and depth to the piece. This artwork is a soft furnishing treasure from the eighteenth century, a time when Portugal was a major player in the global textile trade. The carpet's heritage value is immeasurable, and it is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts. The carpet is currently housed in the Textiles and Costumes department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is admired by visitors from around the world. Its presence in the gallery is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the textile arts, and the role they play in shaping our cultural history.
