Vintage Spanish Rug BB8246 14'1" × 16'9" $60,000

This vibrant vintage Spanish rug is a captivating example of mid-20th century European decorative art, blending classical elegance with playful color and form. Woven circa 1950, the rug showcases a striking oval medallion radiating from the center—adorned with a garland motif in vivid yellow and burgundy, encircling a central bouquet of stylized florals.

The surrounding field is divided into fan-shaped segments that each contain elaborate floral arrangements set in shaded blue vases. These motifs are rendered in a soft pastel palette of rose, yellow, and blue on a beige ground, contributing to the rug’s overall romantic and airy impression. The careful shading and arrangement give the illusion of a blossoming rosette radiating outward in balanced symmetry.

The border is a distinct architectural frame: a diamond lattice over soft mint green and beige, punctuated by pink rosettes, flanked by angular ribbons in goldenrod, chocolate brown, and leafy green hues. This geometric enclosure adds a structured contrast to the organic florals of the interior, evoking a sense of order within exuberance.

Crafted in wool, this rug combines Spanish artisanal tradition with a cheerful, almost Rococo-like aesthetic, making it ideal for spaces that call for charm and sophistication. Its generous dimensions (17′ x 14′) and lively composition make it not only a floor covering but a statement piece in any interior setting.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this antique rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
