Post lot text

A CUENCA CARPET, LATE 18TH CENTURY

Carpet weaving was introduced to Spain during the Moorish occupation and continued throughout the centuries. The present lot was a product of a commercial industry that appeared from the sixteenth century onwards. These carpets usually have a distinctive palette consisting of golden yellow, cream, blue and green, (D. King and D. Sylvester, 'The Eastern Carpet in the Western World', London, 1933. figs.18-20). The weavers of Cuenca often borrowed their design inspiration from the Turkish 'Lotto' design as seen here. A closely related but shorter example, without the central rectangular panel, sold Christie's New York, 22 October 2003, lot 123.
