Oversized Antique Spanish Rug with Geometric Designs in Gold & Gray - Rug & Kilim
Hand-knotted in wool, this oversized antique Spanish rug sized 12x16, dates to circa 1900-1920. The design features an all-over lattice of geometric medallions enclosed within repeating square compartments in soft beige, taupe, slate blue, and muted gray tones.
On the Design:
This exceptional oversized antique Spanish rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, showcases a highly distinctive compartmentalized field design inspired by classical European decorative arts and architectural tilework. The design is arranged as a carefully ordered grid of square panels, each enclosing stylized geometric medallions and ornamental motifs. Rendered in subtle shades of beige, taupe, slate blue, and weathered gray, the pattern achieves a sophisticated balance between structure and ornament, lending the rug an understated yet highly decorative presence.
Particularly notable is the rhythmic repetition of the medallion forms, which creates a strong sense of symmetry while allowing each compartment to contribute visual depth and variation. The softly aged palette enhances the architectural quality of the design, while the border frames the design with refined geometric ornament. Rich in character and remarkably versatile, this oversized antique Spanish rug exemplifies the enduring appeal of early twentieth-century European weaving traditions.
Condition:
This antique Spanish rug enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
"Rug & Kilim's inventory spans the past four centuries and includes everything from ethnic and tribal patterns to European designs, as well as a host of Art Deco, abstract and understated tone-on-tone offerings, all in a vast array of materials, weaves and sizes."
