About the Item
Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug
Size: 15'7" × 34'6" (474 × 1051 cm)
Radiating understated grandeur, this exceptional vintage Spanish Cuenca rug is a triumph of balance between refinement and restraint. Woven in Spain during the mid-20th century, it represents the Cuenca weaving tradition known for merging classical European motifs with Spanish artisanal sensibility.
This rug features a minimalist yet dignified field, adorned with a harmonious array of softly stylized botanical rosettes arranged in a refined grid across a warm, golden ochre background. These medallions, rendered in muted tones of ivory, sky blue, moss green, and slate, exude a weathered elegance, creating a luminous and serene surface.
The border is richly detailed but not overwhelming, with scrolling acanthus leaves, floral tendrils, and vine motifs in complementary shades of dusty teal, wheat, and faded jade—all artfully worn to lend a sense of noble antiquity.
Handwoven in wool, this piece showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional Cuenca workshops. The pile is dense and soft, offering a pleasing tactile experience, while subtle variations in dye—evidence of time and handwork—add dimension and authenticity.
Measuring an impressive 35 feet in length, this rug is ideal for expansive interiors—perfect for anchoring a grand hallway, gallery, or dining space. Its neutral yet nuanced palette makes it a natural fit for classic, transitional, or contemporary décor where refined minimalism is key.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
