About the Item

Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug Size: 11'7" × 22'3" (353 × 678 cm) Exemplifying the rich weaving traditions of Cuenca, this vintage Spanish rug from the mid-20th century is a striking example of classic European textile design elevated with Spanish flair. The rug presents a dark chocolate brown field adorned with a repeating trellis of stylized ivory floral motifs arranged in elegant diagonal symmetry. Each flower is connected with delicate leafy branches, forming a diamond lattice that imbues the rug with a graceful rhythm and refined structure. The composition is framed by a unique ribbon-and-leaf border rendered in a sophisticated interplay of beige, green, and olive tones, providing a visually rich counterpoint to the minimal yet ornate interior. The lifelike foliage and ribbon band lend the piece a sense of movement and dimensionality, reflecting the decorative sensibilities of the Spanish decorative arts tradition. Woven from high-quality wool, the rug retains both its supple texture and enduring vibrancy. Its scale and bold contrast make it especially well-suited to grand interiors, where it can function as either a luxurious foundation or a defining statement piece. This Cuenca rug is not only a beautiful floor covering but also a historical artifact that captures the essence of mid-century Spanish craftsmanship. 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.
