Royal Tapestry Workshop
(1720)
The Royal Tapestry Workshop of Santa Barbara is one of the royal workshops for the manufacture of luxury items created by Spanish mercantilist policy during the Age of Enlightenment. It was founded in 1720 by Philip V, in the likeness of the French royal workshops under the Colbertist model, following the interruption of the imports of Flemish tapestries after the Peace of Utrecht, and it supplied the pieces intended for the royal chambers. Since 1889 it has been located in the district of Pacífico in Madrid, in a building constructed between 1889 and 1891. It continues to carry out the activity for which it was created.
