Vintage Spanish Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Cuenca (Fragment) BB8335 4'5" × 24'9" $21,000

This antique Spanish Cuenca runner fragment is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the early 20th-century weaving tradition of Cuenca, Spain. Its elongated format and surviving end borders give the piece the presence of a historic textile, with enough visual structure to anchor a hallway or gallery setting.

A warm tan field carries a vertically repeating stack of medallion-like forms, each framed by mirrored foliate scrolls and small floral accents. Deep navy blue outlines sharpen the composition, while soft beige, peach, olive green, and ivory lend a mellow, timeworn palette. The repeat has an almost architectural cadence, creating a clear line of movement through the runner.

At the borders, delicate vine work and stylized blossoms provide a quieter frame that softens the bolder central lattice. The result is a vintage Spanish rug with refined pattern, relaxed color, and strong decorative rhythm—well suited to interiors that value patina, craftsmanship, and layered historic detail.

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