About This Design

The Portuguese Rooster of Barcelos Fabric

The Portuguese Rooster of Barcelos Fabric

The Portuguese Rooster of Barcelos is the unofficial symbol of Portugal and one of its most recognisable icons. Inspired by an old pilgrim’s legend, the clay figurines were first just a powerful symbol of truth and justice. From the 1950s onwards the Portuguese Barcelos Rooster became a symbol of national tourism propaganda efforts and Portuguese culture. The rooster is depicted in tourist posters to promote Portugal’s folklore, traditions, landscapes, and also the hospitality and simple way of life of the Portuguese. Today it remains a source of inspiration for many Portuguese artisans and graphic artists. Tourists travelling to Portugal can’t miss it as the red big crested rooster is everywhere from north to south. The “Galo de Barcelos” makes a welcome addition to any home. It will be a thoughtful housewarming gift for a friend, co-worker, teacher, or a relative of Portuguese nationality - they will undoubtedly appreciate it. Or, maybe you just want a Portuguese souvenir while you dream about your summer trip to Portugal! There are two versions of this illustration, one has light dots, and the other has dark dots.

Love this fabric, the print is lovely and clear and holds its colours after washing, used it to make a rather large cushion as a gift and it was very well received, very easy to sew with too, love that it’s so unique and vibrant, will definitely recommend and will be buying more from this seller. Very clear with no smudges and no blurring

The design is so pretty and the colours are subtle yet rich. The material the design is printed on is strong and great for cutting for upholstery. It is also soft to the touch which is great as its such a tactile pattern. The colours are so rich and just as the image shows!
