Oversized Vintage Spanish Savonnerie Rug Doris Leslie Blau

About the Item

Oversized Vintage Spanish Savonnerie Rug Size: 16'0" × 26'7" (487 × 810 cm) Commanding in scale and arresting in elegance, this magnificent mid-century Spanish Savonnerie rug stands as a remarkable testament to the grandeur of European decorative arts. Measuring an impressive 27 by 16 feet, the piece draws inspiration from the refined aesthetic traditions of 17th and 18th century French Savonnerie carpets, reinterpreted through a distinctly Spanish lens. The composition is anchored by a monumental medallion encircled with arabesques, floral garlands, and torch motifs, rendered in a sumptuous palette of seafoam green, gold, ivory, rose, and sky blue. Lavishly decorated cartouches and cherubs occupy the transitional spaces, lending a sense of baroque theatricality. A bold black field frames the interior with masterfully executed acanthus scrolls and corner medallions, each depicting classical-style figures, further enhancing the regal narrative. Meticulous hand-knotting in wool and a high-relief pile emphasize the tapestry-like quality of the design, while delicate shading and color gradations create a painterly, almost fresco-like effect. Ornamental heads and decorative shells crown the top and bottom of the central roundel, reinforcing the neoclassical influence. More than a floor covering, this rug is a masterpiece of textile art—an ideal statement piece for grand interiors, from gallery-like salons to palatial living rooms. Preserved in excellent vintage condition, it continues to echo the opulence and ceremony of its aristocratic heritage. 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.
