description The article analyzes the Sino-Portuguese embroidered textiles from the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), proposing that this production, destined for the export market, constituted a cultural synthesis resulting from the reconfiguration of Luso-Chinese relations from the mid-sixteenth century onward, with particular emphasis on commercial communication and the establishment of Macau as an entrepôt. The author argues that, despite the centrality of Chinese silk in Asian economies and the Portuguese role in mediating trade routes (including Canton), these embroideries remain little studied as a corpus and, above all, lack an integrated historiographic reading. Methodologically, the text favors a systemic approach based on inventory and comparative analysis of over 150 specimens identified over approximately a decade in Portuguese private and public collections, articulating technical procedures, material solutions, iconography, plastic approaches, and functional dimensions. The main conclusions indicate the existence of a highly constant and coherent profile that goes beyond mere contextualization and purpose. Finally, the author distinguishes two functional universes: a religious production, associated with Catholic worship and the mission of the Padroado; and a secular production aimed at the European civil community, especially the Lusophone one, intended for decoration and civil clothing, reflecting the diversity of actors involved in the overseas enterprise.
