About the Item
19th Century Exuberant Vintage Spanish Rug
Size: 13'6" × 18'3" (411 × 556 cm)
Bold, vibrant, and undeniably regal, this vintage Spanish rug encapsulates the ornate grandeur of Iberian textile artistry. Likely originating from the mid-20th century, it boasts a dramatically architectural field layout that radiates from a central medallion-like frame into intricate palmette and tulip motifs, stylized in rhythmic, flame-like repetition along the border.
The composition is striking for its symmetry and balance, blending Moorish influences with Spanish baroque flair. A pale ivory field provides an airy backdrop, dramatically punctuated by deep burgundy, golden saffron, dusty rose, and ebony black—a palette that evokes both warmth and authority.
Each corner bursts with ornamental detail, while the central field remains reserved yet commanding, embellished with delicate floral tracery and paisley-like flourishes. These elements give the rug a ceremonial, almost heraldic quality. The deeply saturated border patterns, rich in scrolling foliage and stylized blossoms, complete the visual narrative.
Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the rug exhibits a loop-pile texture characteristic of Spanish weaving traditions. This tactile surface enhances the depth of the design and adds to the piece’s dimensionality.
Perfect for formal interiors, grand foyers, or heritage-inspired spaces, this vintage Spanish rug offers both decorative opulence and historical sophistication—an enduring testament to the European decorative arts tradition.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
