About the Item

Following the closure of the Axminster manufactory in Devonshire in 1835, the demand for floral carpets made in the Rococo Revival style was supplied by the Wilton Royal Carpet Factory, located in Salisbury, although the term ‘Axminster’ was still employed for the finest quality pieces, particularly for those woven from 1860 onwards, when Alfred Lapworth bought the factory from the Blackmore family (see S.B. Sherrill, Carpets and Rugs of Europe and America (New York, 1995): 231-232). While the design borrows considerably from the French Savonnerie repertoire, the tone-on-tone employed for the background as well as the meander outer border are characteristic of the early Arts & Crafts and Liberty styles which were prevalent in England towards the beginning of the 20th century, yet substantially different from the Irish Donegal carpets of the same period.

Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug with Renaissance Palmette Design
Located in Milan, IT
The court workshop called 'Real Fabrica de Tapices' has been active in Madrid since the 17th century, supplying handmade carpets woven with Turkish (symmetrical) knots to both the court as well as for export. Throughout the 20th century their carpets were either woven with French Savonnerie patterns or, as in this case, with designs taken from the Spanish Renaissance weaving tradition. These carpets are known in the trade with the term of 'Cuenca,' which is the city in southern Spain where they were originally woven in the 15th-17th centuries. Here the pattern, which has a raised pile with respect to the ivory background, is distinguished by an infinite repeat of curvilinear palmettes as seen on 15th-16th century Spanish Alcaraz carpets.

Madonna magnificent antique rug in pastels with every color & detail About this rug: We have named this piece Madonna for a reason - this piece is truly iconic. To think about what it took to weave this rug gives me the chills. Every single knot masterfully tied around a couple of strings of foundation and then topped with a row of weft zig-zagging above the row of knots then beat down to tighten and condense all of the knots, foundation, and weft together only to start that process again, and again; nearly a year later you get this beauty. Such detail in every single square inch, and a relentless demand for quality in each knot. Moments of blooming flora, growing trees inside of Mosaic arched Merab-inspired Architecture, dancing vines, moving branches with both jagged and rounded leaves...
