Primitive looking early 19th century Spanish Alpujarran rug (Granada, Spain). Alpujarran rugs were domestic items generally woven for personal use, a tradition that remained in Southern Spain (the muslims stayed for 700 years i n Spain). Often they were woven as part of the dowry as it could be in this case where the name "antonio laquina gunquera" (sic) has been woven. Woven in two parts, retaining some of the original fringes on four sides. Linen ground with looped design in wool. Worn, with a few holes. Of great ethnographic value as there are not many of this age that survived to our days. 212x145 cms
