The marquis of Linares tapestry and rug collection
Abstract
The Linares Palace in Madrid, which today is the House of America’s head office, was in the late XIXth century the splendid residence of M. José de Murga y Reolid, marquis of Linares, viscount of Llanteno and senator of the realm. This very influential aristocrat put together in his palace a very rich french tapestry collection which bears witness in one hand, the decline of this artistic industry in Spain and on the other hand, the survival of a decorative style that refused to die despite the symptoms of renewal that started to show in France.
