Miniature Mudejar Archway w Inlaid Frame, Inspired by the Alhambra, Spain c.1900

About the Item

This beautifully handcrafted wall piece pays tribute to the splendor of Andalusian architecture, echoing the intricate arches and decorative flourishes of the Alhambra in Granada. Made in early 20th-century Spain, it captures the spirit of Islamic Revival style with striking detail and artisan precision. At its center are three classic horseshoe arches, richly adorned with arabesques and supported by slender columns topped with finely worked capitals. A palette of soft reds, blues, and golds brings depth and warmth, further elevated by a rich burgundy velvet background. Surrounding the scene is a remarkable inlaid wooden frame, featuring delicate geometric patterns and flowing Arabic calligraphy — hallmarks of Neo-Mudejar design. This is not only a decorative object but a conversation piece, a rare combination of cultural history, architectural beauty, and fine craftsmanship. There are signs of restorations and some chipping to the plasterwork, mostly along the edges, but nothing that takes away from the overall beauty or structural integrity of the piece. Whether you're a lover of Islamic art, architectural miniatures, or simply looking for something rich in history and charm to add to your space, this piece brings timeless character and a story with it. A rare find with true soul. The large frame may have some minor losses and but this antique art work will never fail to impress. We are more than proud to be able to offer this unique and wonderfully decorative work of art and we are certain it will find the right home. Maximum width x height x depth: 35.4 x 21.9 x 1.4 inches. * A refined and soulful piece that brings depth, history, and artistry to any interior, ideal for collectors of architectural elements or admirers of Islamic design heritage. We are driven by a passion for uniqueness, timeless, quality, stylish design, and the enduring craftsmanship of the past.
