For us, each piece is unique, special and tailored.
Located in Espinho, in the north of Portugal, Ferreira de Sá was founded in 1946 by Joaquim Ferreira de Sá, and it is currently one of the oldest existing companies producing traditional hand-made rugs.
It started off as a small manufacturer but quickly evolved to a large-scaled organization. An industrial unit was created, with modern equipment and facilities, without neglecting the origins and tradition of the art of weaving. Since all the carpets are custom made, every project is unique and personalized, bearing in mind the clients’ personalities and tastes.
At Ferreira de Sá, there are no boundaries for creativity or innovation. Your imagination is the limit…
Weavinghasbeenpartofhumanhistorysincethebeginningoftimes.Nowadays, in Ferreira de Sá, the same traditional wooden looms from 1946 are used, creating unique masterpieces, woven byhand. However, it also hasthe modern loomsto manufacturethe updated requests ofthe demanding and luxurious market.
Using nothing but the finest natural materials, the rugs ensure an everlasting beauty look and an extremely high resistance to traffic. Wooden looms are used, in which two distinct sets of yarns are interlaced amongst the weft and warp to form different patterns and personalized designs.

In the heart of the factory, is stored one of our secret ingredients: the color range. More than one thousand tones are available, in different materials such as New Zealand Wool and Polypropylene. To create a masterpiece, inspiration can come from a fabric, a wallpaper, an inspiration theme or even a color that a client supplies.
Creating a bespoke rug is a unique experience and at Ferreira de Sá the whole process starts and ends at its premises. Prior to the manufacturing, its design team elaborates the rug’s artwork which is sent to the client, together with the matching yarn poms.
Besides having its own color system, they also work with international reference systems such as Chromatone, ARS, Pantone TPX and Pantone Fashion+Home.

These rugs are produced manually in our traditional looms and the weaving process is called flat weave, since no knots are used and the surface looks flat. Two perpendicular rows of threads, the warp and weft, are interlaced to form the rug. The width can go up to 5m, whilst the length presents no limitations.
Inspired by the sea, the outdoor rugs are produced with the most durable and refined polypropylene ropes, which combine an incredibly high resistance to sunlight and wear with beauty, color and design. Produced in the same tradicional looms, these rugs will add style and, above all, comfort to any exterior or interior environment.

To further extend the lifetime of your rug, Ferreira de Sá recommends a regular maintenance so that the rug may retain its shape and appearance. If you have a light, single color rug you will need to care for it more often than a darker, patterned rug. It is also a good idea to use a rug underlay to prolong the life of your woven rug and prevent it from slipping on any type of floor. Thorough vacuuming is the best, most economical and environmentally friendly method of cleaning. Beating or shaking a rug may damage the fibers. It is most efficient to vacuum the rug one direction at a time.
We recommend that the rug is cleaned by a professional cleaner, using the extraction method on a flat surface. The quantity and temperature of the water will depend on the material. Good ventilation during the drying process is essential. Shrinkage will be about 3-5%.
Ferreira de Sá rugs are not to be machine-washed or dry-cleaned. At www.ferreiradesa.pt you can read more about our materials.
Choose the characteristics of the rug, its color and design to suit the space in which it will be laid. If it is to be laid in a hall, for example, you may choose a type of rug that is more resistant to wear, and a color that is a little darker and dirt-tolerant. Use a rug as a means of bringing together the rest of the interior. Decide whether you want to place a sofa on the rug or at its edge. If a rug is to be placed underneath a dining table, add at least 60cm all round the table to allow space for pulling out the chairs. Woven rugs are suitable for most settings, both public and private. Ideal for use in domestic settings such as dining rooms, halls and kitchens, and in retail environments, conference premises and corridors.
Hand-Woven Rugs are only produced in Rectangles or Squares. If you require an irregular binded/circular/oval shape, please note that the rug will be produced and cut post production. Any shape other than rectangular or square requires to be boud with tape or selvedged.

At Ferreira de Sá Rugs environmental work is a very natural part of what we do and what we stand for - today and for generations to come. All our rugs are made to order in Portugal, using the finest renewable natural materials. Our working environment reflects the creativity and quality that we strive for - in design, materials and manufacture.
-Depending on the materials used and the rug-making process, dimensions may vary by up to 5% so please state maximum or minimum dimensions when placing your order.
-Note that rugs from Ferreira de Sá rugs are made from natural materials. Variatons in colour and texture can therefore arise between batches of yarn and dye baths.
-Rugs should be laid on an underlay that prevents them from moving on all types of flooring. This extends the life of the rug and reduces the risk of slipping.
We hope to have pleased you with our HAND-WOVEN COLLECTION.
