The Alcázar of Segovia, a medieval fortress in Spain, boasts a rich history dating back to its construction by the Moors in the 12th century, later serving as a royal palace. Its distinctive gold and burgundy color scheme, seen in architectural details and interior decor, reflects a blend of Moorish and Christian influences, creating a visually captivating ambiance.

Woven in the jacquard style, this damask’s banded floral ombré pattern of shiny gold and burgundy could easily represent the cultural exchange and coexistence of Moorish and Christian influences in the region. The Moorish architectural elements often featured vibrant colors, including gold, while in Christian traditions, gold and burgundy were used to convey the divine and royal aspects of power. The combination of these colors in the Alcázar's design reflects the complex historical tapestry.

This stunning silk has a 10.5” repeat and is 54” wide. The plain bands are 8" wide and the flowered bands are 6" wide. And because it’s a jacquard with opposite sides, it’s two silks in one!
