Jacques Moreno Pontremoli (1886 – 1952) was a Jewish immigrant from Ottoman Turkey who could trace his heritage back to the time of the Spanish Inquisition in 1492. He set up a small workshop in Paddington, London, in 1910, to make Needlework rugs and carpets by hand. Embroidery and Needlework from the 17^th and 18^th centuries were his inspiration for the beautiful floral designs. His works were a great success attracting many members of the Royal Family among his clients. These  beautiful rugs and carpets are much sought after and admired to this day.
