The region has a long history of creating high-quality textiles dating back to the Middle Ages. The carpets from Cuenca are characterized by their intricate patterns, durable materials, and meticulous handcrafting.
Historically, Cuenca was an important center for Spanish rug art, closely linked to the Royal Tapestry Factory in Madrid. Founded in the 18th century, the Real Fábrica de Tapices played a central role in producing magnificent carpets for royal palaces and important institutions. The tradition of this royal tapestry factory lives on in the antique Spanish carpets from Cuenca, reflecting the high quality and artistic design Spain is famous for.

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.
