About the Item
Regal Geometry: Vintage Spanish Cuenca Rug
Size: 14'0" × 15'4" (426 × 467 cm)
A remarkable testament to Spanish textile artistry, this vintage Cuenca rug from 1927 captivates with its masterful balance of regal color and intricate structure. Handwoven in the esteemed Real Fábrica de Tapices in Madrid, as noted by the woven inscription, this piece embodies the legacy of royal craftsmanship and design sophistication.
The rug’s foundation rests in a warm camel brown field, elegantly contrasted by lavish accents of deep royal blue—a palette that evokes the grandeur of Moorish architecture and classical Spanish interiors. At its heart lies a symmetrical lattice of stylized medallions and floral motifs, each carefully rendered with geometric precision and a harmonious sense of movement. The layered patterning radiates outward from a central axis, suggesting both architectural formality and organic rhythm.
The border is framed with elaborate Arabesque scrollwork and floral rosettes, reinforcing the design’s noble heritage while providing visual containment to the lavish interior. With its square shape (approximately 15' x 14'), the rug offers exceptional versatility—ideal for anchoring large formal spaces or serving as a statement piece beneath grand furniture arrangements.
Made of high-quality wool and exhibiting the plush, tightly knotted pile characteristic of Cuenca craftsmanship, this rug is not only visually stunning but also enduring in structure.
Whether placed in a historic setting or used to infuse a modern space with vintage drama, this Spanish masterpiece radiates a timeless elegance born of centuries-old tradition.
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.
