About This Design

The Al-Andalus Ruby Tapestry Throw

The Al-Andalus Ruby Tapestry Throw

By the thousand and one fountains of the Alhambra, are you content to live amidst the drabness of the uninspired, where carpets and coverings are as colourless as the dust of the road? If so, shame upon your nafs (soul)! For I present to you a treasure that holds the very spirit of Al-Andalus, a jewel-toned masterpiece that will make your humble abode shine with the glory of a Moorish palace! This throw is not woven of common thread, but of the very history that bound Spain and the East in a magnificent embrace, a fusion of artistry so splendid it was said to make the stars jealous. The pattern you see—a riot of intricate geometry and rich, passionate colour—is a direct descendant of the art of the Mudéjar style, a testament to the master craftsmen whose hands blended the precision of Islamic design with the fiery heart of Spain. It is a visual muwashshah, a poetic form of interlinked verses, where every curve and line tells a story of conquest, culture, and creation. The deep, velvety red is the colour of passion, of dried earth, and of the noble blood spilled in chivalrous tales; the stark contrast of the black and cream provides the clarity of a desert night sky. As the chronicles of the time tell us, "The Arabs took possession of Spain, and Spain of their hearts." This blanket allows you to take possession of that same romantic, intellectual heritage. Draped over your divan, it transforms your space into a private alcázar, a fortified palace of comfort and beauty. It is warmth for the body and a feast for the eye, promising not just cosiness, but a journey through the mediaeval corridors of Córdoba and Seville. Wrap yourself in the breathtaking luxury and history of mediaeval Spain with "The Al-Andalus Ruby Tapestry Throw." This stunning throw blanket features a bold and intricate Spanish Mudéjar-style pattern, a glorious blend of Moorish geometric complexity and vibrant Iberian colour. The design, dominated by a passionate ruby red, striking black, and crisp cream, is a powerful nod to the opulent textiles and tilework of historical palaces like the Alhambra. Crafted for supreme comfort, its soft texture and generous size make it the perfect statement piece for your living room, adding warmth, drama, and exotic elegance. Ideal for history lovers, designers, and anyone seeking to bring a touch of old-world sophistication to their home. Experience the legendary beauty of Al-Andalus in your own sanctuary.

I ordered an art deco sofa pillow in the design shown. I wanted a woven throw in that design as well, but they had quit making anything but fleece throws (which I didn't want). I kept in touch with the designer (she is in England, I'm in USA) and she talked with Zazzle. When they began making woven throws again, I jumped on it and ordered this! When I received it, it was about commemorating someone's 100th birthday - not at all what I ordered. I talked with Zazzle and the designer and the problem was quickly rectified. They didn't even ask that I return the original wrong throw. This throw is beautiful, matches the pillow perfectly, and is just what I wanted. Emms Childs, the designer, was delightful to work with and Zazzle gave great customer service - very professional, prompt and kind to replace it quickly and not require me to return the incorrect one. It is crisp with the colors true to the photo. Excellent.

A beautiful small blanket that is perfect for covering your legs while curled up in front of the fire, or for a decorative touch on the sofa. We also think it looks brilliant as a Christmas table centerpiece. We are delighted with it. The colors are absolutely perfect. Vibrant yet traditional. The pattern retains its lovely details despite the texture of the fabric. Very classy product that will not disappoint as a gift.
