Square Vintage Animal Motif Spanish Rug 49158, Country of Origin / Rug Type: Spain Rugs, Circa Date: 1920 – Symmetry and balance of color and motif define this vibrant antique rug. The soft shades of green, blue and camel are signature colors of antique Spanish rugs. Repeating motifs of hound, bird, deer and flowers are rendered on a pale peach background in an overall pattern. The hound, with teeth bared, is ready to spring on the bird taking flight. The deer, reclining in an enclosure, is alert, ready to move. The composition of this whimsical and fun animal motif Spanish rug evokes the atmosphere of a forest with animals in their natural habitat, yet is tempered by the reminder of mankind’s influence. The dark orange background of the lively border complements the orange of the bird and the two-toned flowers.
