About the Item
76742 Vintage Cuenca Spanish Rug, 12’01 x 14’11. Hand-knotted Spanish Cuenca rugs are luxurious, intricately designed rugs that originate from the city of Cuenca, Spain. These rugs are crafted through a meticulous process where skilled artisans individually tie knots onto the rug's warp threads, resulting in a dense and durable pile. Known for their exquisite designs, which often feature intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs, and vibrant colors, hand-knotted Cuenca rugs are prized for their beauty and craftsmanship. While historically produced in Cuenca, these rugs may also be made in other regions of Spain by artisans who adhere to traditional weaving techniques and designs. Hand-knotted Spanish Cuenca rugs are highly sought after for their quality and cultural significance, serving as luxurious decor pieces in homes and institutions worldwide.
