Portuguese Manta – Striped
£190.00
Created by Portugal’s last remaining makers of ‘Manta”. These pieces are loomed and finished entirely by hand in the southern district of Portugal- Alentejo. There are at present only a handful of people in this very sparsely populated area that are still able to recreate the patterns traditional to this region. These attractive hard-wearing rugs are designed in collaboration with the ‘Fabrica Alentejana de Lanificios’, to traditional patterns in colours selected by Pedro da Costa Felgueiras. Some patterns are based on an original shepherds blanket found in the Evora region.
Dimensions (L x W ) :
