Know before you buy
As this throw is crafted from 100% pure Portuguese wool, it has a substantial, authentic feel. It is designed for warmth and durability, offering the classic, slightly textured hand-feel characteristic of high-quality heritage wool.
The throw measures 87 inches long by 71 inches wide. Its oversized dimensions make it well-suited for draping over a king-sized bed or comfortably covering two people on a sofa.
In Portuguese culture, the swallow is a traditional symbol of love and loyalty. These birds are known for returning to the same nest every year, making the motif a meaningful design element for the home.
Because of the natural wool fibers and the hand-finished construction, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the weave and the shape of the throw.
Yes, the use of looms from the 1960s and 1970s is intentional. These machines produce a tighter, more distinct weave that modern industrial looms often cannot replicate, resulting in a product with genuine heritage and artisanal character.
