Light Yellow Gold Color Vintage Animal Design Spanish Wool Pile Rug 46977

Vintage Spanish Rug, Spain – This dramatic vintage European carpet artfully represents Spain’s unique history and style and an extraordinary melding of the old and new. Stylized chimeras, scroll work accents and decorative birds perched on fountains create a dazzling repeating pattern with perfect mirror-image symmetry determined by the understated mandala style medallion. Bold ochre accents and low-contrast golden-yellows create a graphic repeating pattern that is offset strongly by the sumptuous alabaster-tone field. Minimalist lozenge chains decorate the understated main borders that segue to the festive fringed edge. The graphic designs have an unusual blend of European influences and pre-historic mythology that form a very distinctive and evocative pattern. From the quirky chimera motifs to the simplistic, clear-cut patterning, this distinctive vintage carpet from Spain honors European design traditions as well as classical motifs reminiscent of Greek and Anatolian legends.
