Spanish Runner (Fragment) BB8858 3'7" × 17'4" $5,000

This exceptional vintage Spanish runner, woven in the 1930s, captures the essence of understated refinement. Characterized by a subdued palette of parchment, wheat, and faint terracotta tones, the rug’s aesthetic relies on its delicacy rather than overt decoration. Though the pattern is gently faded, it reveals classic Spanish motifs—stylized floral medallions and interlacing vines—reminiscent of Iberian textile heritage.

The field is filled with a symmetrical arrangement of botanical forms rendered in nearly tone-on-tone coloration, giving the impression of depth and movement while maintaining a serene overall presence. The abrash across the runner lends an organic, sun-kissed quality that enhances its antique charm.

Woven in wool on a cotton foundation, the rug maintains the structural integrity and fine craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Spanish weavings. As a fragment, it offers a rare opportunity to incorporate a unique piece of textile history into modern interiors—ideal for hallways, galleries, or as a distinctive statement along a long corridor.

Whether paired with minimalist design for contrast or layered into a traditional setting, this vintage Spanish runner fragment exudes quiet elegance and timeless appeal.
