| Historical context | The importation of Turkish carpets began to change the style of carpets made in Spain, particularly from the second half of the fifteenth century. This example shows a design inspired by Turkish silk, which was itself originally copied from imported Italian velvets. (M. Rosser-Owen, 2010). |
