About the Item

Aubusson rugs that were woven after the Restauration period distinguish themselves by a richer palette, as well as for employing architectural motifs often inspired by the ceiling decorations of the palaces from the Louis XIV-Louis XVI period. This refined example uses touches of red to contrast the black background and is enriched by metal thread, embroidered in various areas of the field and border. The square format and the symmetry of the composition remind us of the Aubussons from the Neoclassical period, while the complex ornamental motifs are similar to those found on the rare carpets of the prestigious Sallandrouze de la Mornaix workshop, which was active during the Louis Philippe 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.
