Our second Lisbon store, in a 200-year-old house
In 1760, by royal decree, a street in Lisbon’s earthquake-rebuilt downtown was set aside for the city’s goldsmiths and jewelers
Nearly six decades later, in 1819, a master engraver opened Portugal’s first seal and stamp workshop at number 157. By the late 19th century, it held the warrant of the Portuguese Royal House.
After 206 years, the key was passed on. With no family to inherit the business, the previous owner chose a successor. Portugal Jewels reopened the doors in 2026
The old panels were preserved. A new generation was hand-painted alongside them, in the same tradition
By designer and lettering artist João Neves, using reverse painting on the interior side of the glass and gold leaf applied by hand.
"I wanted anyone who walked in to feel they were inside a Portuguese home, not a store."
— Ricardo Preto, Creative Director
Chita de Alcobaça, the fabric of Portuguese homes
A block-printed cotton produced since the 18th century, woven into the country's domestic memory through trousseaus, festive tables and country house interiors. The fabric is supplied by Armazém dos Linhos, a Porto house from 1905 brought back to life in 2011 by sisters Filipa and Leonor Pinto Basto.
