About the Item

Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug – Handwoven Grandeur in Earthy Elegance Size: 14'0" × 25'1" (426 × 764 cm) Color: Blue, Green, Yellow. This magnificent vintage Spanish Cuenca rug, embodies the graceful harmony of classic European design and artisanal craftsmanship. Likely originating from the historic weaving centers of Spain in the early to mid-20th century, this carpet reflects the enduring influence of Spanish Renaissance and Moorish aesthetics, elevated by the Cuenca tradition's precision and symmetry. The rug's expansive field features an all-over pattern of stylized medallions and floral rosettes arranged in a flowing lattice formation. Its soft, sun-washed color palette of terracotta, pale sky blue, wheat, and muted olive exudes a timeless warmth, subtly distressed for a patina that enhances its antique charm. Gentle abrashed tones throughout the composition suggest both age and authenticity, adding textural nuance and visual depth. The border complements the central field with botanical scrolls, vine tendrils, and whimsical zoomorphic elements—adding a touch of playful sophistication. This frame, articulated in similar soft tones, balances the bold interior design while anchoring it in refinement. Hand-knotted in wool, the rug boasts a dense yet supple weave, a testament to the skill of Spanish artisans and the enduring quality of their work. Whether placed in a grand salon, formal dining room, or a luxurious boutique hotel lobby, this vintage Cuenca rug brings with it a whisper of European nobility and the quiet luxury of heirloom textiles. 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.
