Vintage Spanish Abstract Cream Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8172 13'6" × 18'3" $130,000

This antique Spanish hand-knotted wool rug brings an Iberian sense of formality to a soft cream ground, using bold contrast and carefully controlled ornament to create a refined decorative statement.

Rather than an allover repeat, the composition is organized around a narrow central reserve and mirrored side compartments that give the piece a distinctly architectural presence. Burgundy and pink scrolls, tulip-like forms, and stylized florals rise and fold inward from the edges, while black outlines sharpen each contour and mustard accents lend warmth. The open center keeps the design breathable and prevents the pattern from feeling heavy.

A dark outer border frames the rug with clarity, enclosing a lively floral inner border that reinforces its balanced geometry. The result is a Spanish antique rug with abstract, floral, and geometric character at once—an excellent choice for interiors that call for pattern, structure, and a quietly historic palette in formal rooms, libraries, or expressive contemporary spaces without overwhelming the architecture of the room.

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.
