No Reserve - Antique Spanish Savonnerie French Design Rug
Size: 21 ft 6 in x 13 ft 8 in (6.55 m x 4.17 m)
Provenance: Inventory of the late Albert Karmely
This beautifully woven late 19th-century antique Spanish carpet is a bold and alluring composition that draws deeply from classical European decorative traditions while acknowledging the influence of its antique Oriental neighbors. An oval cameo medallion wreathed in leafy branches floats within a rich gold open field, surrounded by Rococo scroll-work on a paler yellow ground, and dramatically framed by a garland border on jet-black. The brilliant use of saturated gold and black against soft pastel tones gives this Spanish carpet its uniquely powerful decorative effect — an exciting and distinguished example of the Spanish style at its height.
