Antique Spanish Carpet 43703

43703  Antique Spanish, nineteenth century - This exquisite piece brings to life once more the grand elegance of classical Spanish carpets from the late Medieval and Renaissance periods.  In the field, large sprays of acanthus with lotus palmettes and curling vines unfold with consummate grace and poise. The running vinescroll border continues the undulating rhythms of the field. The warm saffron golden palette with spare accents of salmon ads the final touch of sophisticated restraint, in perfect harmony with the classic suaveness of the design.
