Spanish Vintage Floral Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB0480 13'7" × 25'9" $100,000

This antique Spanish hand-knotted wool rug reflects the country’s decorative weaving tradition in a large-format composition built on quiet symmetry. Its warm tan ground and deep red framework create a grounded, historic presence, while the aged palette lends the design a mellow depth.

The field is organized as a disciplined grid of repeating square compartments, alternating stylized floral medallions with four-part blossom motifs. Teal-green, gold, and crimson accents animate each panel, while the surrounding border extends the same rhythm with crest-like forms and compact floral details. The result is a tapestry-like surface with clear order and subtle movement.

With its softened ornament and geometric repetition, the piece sits comfortably between Arts and Crafts restraint and the more generous vocabulary associated with Oushak carpets. Hand-knotted in wool, it brings texture, warmth, and lasting practicality, making it especially suited to dining rooms, libraries, or layered contemporary interiors that benefit from a composed foundation. It reads as decorative, but never fussy, and holds its own in generous interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
