About the Item

Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug Size: 16'4" × 16'8" (497 × 508 cm) This magnificent vintage Cuenca rug from mid-20th century Spain embodies the refined elegance and craftsmanship that define the best of European textile traditions. Woven in the historic city of Cuenca—renowned for its rich legacy in artisanal carpet-making—this piece strikes a balance between classical sophistication and understated charm. The composition features an expansive field rendered in a warm, muted tan, overlaid with an all-over pattern of stylized floral motifs arranged in a rhythmic, grid-like formation. Ivory blossoms punctuate the field alongside subtle accents in cool blue and soft grey, lending the piece a harmonious balance of warmth and coolness. The tonal background is subtly striated, suggesting hand-spun wool and enhancing the visual texture of the surface. Framing the field is a beautifully articulated border filled with elegant scrolling vines and palmettes in complementary hues of blue, ivory, and taupe. This richly detailed border provides an architectural anchor, grounding the rug’s delicate pattern in a stately classical framework. Crafted in wool with a dense, low pile, the rug exhibits exceptional quality and durability. Its large, nearly square dimensions make it particularly well-suited for grand rooms, dining areas, or formal living spaces where a sense of proportion and classic beauty is paramount. A masterful example of vintage Spanish weaving, this Cuenca carpet combines regal formality with the gentle patina of age, offering a timeless foundation for both traditional and transitional interiors. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
