Antique Allover Geometric Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) Late 17Th Century Cuenca BB7785 7'1" × 11'3" $75,000

This antique size-adjusted Cuenca rug, woven in Spain in the late 17th century, reflects the historic geometric tradition of Cuenca textiles. Its structure is orderly yet relaxed, balancing tribal clarity with a decorative sensibility that feels distinctly old-world.

A golden tan field forms the backdrop for an allover trellis of hooked diamonds, small rosettes, and angular botanical elements. The motifs are rendered in deep blue, ivory, and olive green, with pale blue accents that soften the composition. A narrow inner frame and a broad outer border reinforce the layout without interrupting its lively rhythm.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has the sturdy, tactile presence associated with antique Spanish carpets. Its open spacing and warm palette make it especially effective in interiors that call for pattern, texture, and a grounded sense of history—whether layered into a traditional room or used to bring character to a more contemporary setting.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
