About the Item

77984 Vintage Embroidered Granada Spanish Textile, 04'06 x 07'11. Embroidered Granada Spanish textiles with Arabic calligraphy are a distinctive form of textile art from Granada, Spain, emerging from the broader "Al-Andalus" artistic tradition of medieval Islamic Spain. Notable for their intricate silk embroidery and occasional use of gold and silver threads, these textiles feature elaborate Arabic calligraphy, often showcasing Quranic verses or poetry that are seamlessly integrated into decorative designs. They also incorporate characteristic Islamic motifs like geometric patterns, arabesques, and floral designs that emphasize symmetry and balance. These textiles embody a blend of Islamic and Christian influences, reflecting Granada's role as a cultural nexus in medieval Spain. This synthesis is evident in the combination of Arabic calligraphy with European or Christian elements. Created during the Nasrid dynasty that ruled until the late 15th century, they offer significant insights into the cultural and artistic exchanges of the time. Today, these textiles are preserved in museums, highlighting the rich cultural tapestry and historical significance of medieval Spanish art. This exquisite Granada Spanish textile embodies the beguiling enchantment of the Moorish world, seamlessly intertwining the mastery of Islamic geometric art. Set against a neutral beige backdrop, the fabric unfurls like a tapestry of botanical beauty, with intricate floral and foliage patterns embroidered in mesmerizing detail. At its heart lies a radiant Islamic medallion, where flowing, organic contours embody the lush spirit of nature that flourished in medieval Islamic art. Encircling this central motif is a meticulously crafted border, adorned with the Crescent and Star of Islam at each corner. This framing element, with its intricate patterns, elegantly complements the textile’s central design, offering a harmonious blend of tradition and artistry. The elaborate embroidery, with its rich blend of silk, gold, and silver threads, whispers tales of Granada's cultural crossroads, where Islamic and Christian influences weave together. With its heirloom aesthetic and nature-inspired color palette, this Granada Spanish textile gracefully embodies the rich legacy of Al-Andalus art. Its timeless elegance will seamlessly blend into a variety of interiors, bringing the enchantment of centuries past into contemporary spaces. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, tan, sand, ecru, dark green, sage, red, army green, taupe, and gray with other accent colors. Abrash. Embroidered and handwoven wool and cotton. Made in Spain. Measures: 04'06 x 07'11. Date: 1930s. Early to Mid-20th Century.
