Antique Spanish Carpet 3260

Antique Spanish Carpet -- Antique Spanish, Spain, late nineteenth century - A Neo-classical design of concentric medallions filled with naturalistic wreaths, and floral bouquets unfolds across the warm sand ground of this elegant antique carpet, the Spanish counterpart of French Savonneries. In keeping with this French tradition, the palette is soft saffron, lavender, mauve, pale greens and blues, with sparing use of brown for outline accents. The rich, lustrous, velvety pile nicely sets off the delicate design and color effects.
