Description
Excerpt from Spanish Antiquities: Talavera Pottery, and a Wainscot of Manises Lustred Tiles; Alpujarra Rugs; Sumptuous Damasks, Brocades and Velvets; Renaissance Laces; Carved Walnut and Pino Wood Furniture Chiefly of the XVII Century
An important display of textiles, from the chintzes of the peasants and the native Alpujarra rugs to the sumptuous damasks, brocades and velvets from the treasures of the Spanish Church, is to be hung; for the rest a num ber of brilliant shawls of the eighteenth century and a quantity of Spanish Renaissance and seventeenth century lace demand adequate attention, in the case of the fine textiles if only for the difficulty which is now experienced in obtaining the permission of Rome to remove such things from the country.
