ABOUT

Founded in 1946, Ferreira de Sá is currently one of the biggest and oldest existing companies producing hand-made rugs in Europe. Located in a small town in the north of Portugal, it started off as a small manufacture and quickly evolved into a large-scale organization.
The company offers three different production techniques: the Hand-tufting, the Portuguese Hand-knotting (often called Beiriz Stitch) and the Hand-weaving. All of them are operated by talented artisans who share a passion for handcrafted and bespoke carpets and rugs.

FERREIRA DE SÁ WORLD

All Ferreira de Sá carpets are custom-made and each piece is tailored and designed according to each client’s request and desire. Creating a Ferreira de Sá carpet is a unique experience. No details are left at random: the staff is always available to help and advise on new trends, colors, textures and materials. The whole process starts in-house, with a talented team of designers and artisans working in cooperation with our clients, whether it is a residential or a contract project. They strive for perfection, bearing in mind that excellence is the keyword to the company’s success.
As innovation is one of Ferreira de Sa’s most important assets, production methods and processes have been improving ever since the company was founded. By doing so, Ferreira de Sá was able to put forward new techniques and develop its production, without ever neglecting the origins of the art of weaving.
