Shortly thereafter, the new factory, the Real Fábrica de Tapices de Santa Bárbara, expanded its production to include carpets. The factory of Miguel Stuyck, descendant of Jacobo van der Gotem, after ten generations dedicated to the manufacture of carpets and tapestries, can be considered one of the most important in the world, since it has produced and continues to produce true works of art that have embellished the best palaces, luxury hotels, banks, government agencies ... The purchase of any of its products produces the satisfaction of owning a true work of art, with the guarantee offered by their high quality raw materials, always coupled with the classic beauty of their drawings, designs and colors.
