FAQs

Authentic pieces are typically crafted using hand-spun linen fabrics decorated with fine silk threads, employing specific traditional stitching techniques passed down through generations.

Authenticity is determined by examining the consistency of the hand-spun linen, the type and twist of the silk thread, natural dye characteristics, and the density and precision of the traditional stitch work.

Such pieces can be professionally mounted and framed as statement wall art or displayed behind UV-protective glass to introduce texture, history, and warmth into a contemporary room.

Preservation requires avoiding direct sunlight to prevent silk degradation and fading, maintaining stable humidity levels, and refraining from hanging the fabric in areas with high moisture or dust.

Castelo Branco embroidery originates from the Beira Baixa region of Portugal, traditionally featuring hand-embroidered silk motifs such as flowers, birds, and human figures on a linen ground, with strong historical influences from international trade routes.
