Vintage Spanish Floral Oversized Yellow Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB2701 22'8" × 23'5" $95,000

This vintage Spanish Savonnerie carpet, woven circa 1920, brings the formality of a hand-knotted wool tapestry rug into a distinctive square composition. Rooted in Spain’s refined decorative tradition, it translates courtly European design into a softer, more expressive idiom.

A warm yellow field sets the stage for a large radiating medallion that recalls a rose window or domed ceiling, with layered petal forms unfolding in pale beige, dusty rose, and soft blue. The composition feels carefully balanced and architectural, yet the detailing remains lyrical rather than rigid. Small botanical and foliate accents animate each segment without overwhelming the open ground.

Along the lower edge, a deep forest-green border introduces rich contrast, framed by scrolling leaves, ochre blossoms, and touches of brick red. That darker register gives the piece its grounding note and sharpens the luminous center. Elegant and formal, this vintage Spanish rug works beautifully in traditional, transitional, or layered interiors that benefit from a clear focal point.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
