Portuguese Embroidered Linen Runner Hand Loomed Linen with Hand Crocheted Trim 16" x 56" Passed down from many generations, the skill of Portuguese embroiderers is world renowned. Centered around the village of Guimarares, artisans there create wondrous pieces that are dimensional and intricate. Often borders are created using the drawn threads of the linen fabric, making a fine finish. Traditional embroidered "love handkerchiefs" are easily recognized for their lovely messages and whimsical colors. Initially, these early valentines were made to capture the attention of would-be lovers and if the intended wore and displayed the handkerchief in public ,the embroiderer would know that she was successful. Today the creation of these little valentines is still flourishing, but only for decorative pieces and gifts. To keep the tradition alive and for quality control, there is even a group that evaluates the pieces based motifs, threads, size colors and spelling mistakes. A high rating determines price and certification and are sought by collectors and to add warmth and hospitality to home decor.
