Arts & Crafts Cuenca Carpet, 1920s, Spain

About the Item

An attractive early 20th century Cuenca carpet which is influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement which flourished in Europe and North America between 1880 and 1920. This Cuenca carpet has a fresh array of vegetable-dyed colours with a grand-scale drawing that is well-balanced and framed by a simple border. Spanish carpets represent some of the most venerable and time-honoured rugs in Europe and date back to a time when much of Spain was part of the Islamic world.  Early pieces are highly sought after by collectors.  Both 19th and 20th-century examples make excellent room-size decorative rugs. A timeless example uncommon in this square format. It will make a wonderful addition to a tasteful setting.

  • Arts & Crafts Donegal Carpet
    Located in London, GB
    Antique Donegal Carpets, woven in the town of Killybegs, County Donegal, from the 1890s onwards, represent some of the most unique and highly sought-after European weavings - originally, a Western interpretation of earlier Turkish Oushak carpets, incorporating a wide array of design elements borrowed from both the Arts and Crafts movement and traditional Celtic art. These pieces are also known for their remarkably high quality, thanks to the centuries-old tradition of wool-working belonging to the people of Donegal - early examples can be found in places as prestigious as Dublin Castle, the University of Notre Dame, and the US Whitehouse. This piece, dating to the early 20th Century, features a wonderfully fresh colour palette, and an elegant composition inspired by Arts and Crafts textiles...
