The ancient craft of needlepoint, also known as ‘canvas needle-work’, ‘canvas embroidery’ or ‘petit point’ flourished most notably in Western Europe.

Rug weaving was introduced to Spain and Portugal during the Moorish occupation and continued throughout the centuries. The present rug was a product of a commercial industry that appeared from the sixteenth century onwards.
