Hand-knotted in a luxurious blend of silk and wool, this 3x17 runner rug is an addition to the European rug collection by Rug & Kilim, affectionately dubbed “Bilbao” for the inspiration from vintage and antique Spanish rugs of the most elegant sensibility. On the Design: Admirers of the craft and collectors of fine textile art will appreciate the inspiration drawn from antique rugs of the Spanish sensibility, paired with the Nepalese pile construction, which beautifully captures the essence of classic and transitional European style. The natural luster of the silk accents lends an elegant play of light to the transitional hues of beige/brown, red, gold, green, and blue with a tasteful sense of movement in the soothing repetition of the floral pattern. Enjoying both the durability and quality of a modern rug and the idyllic, artisanal nature of Spanish floral art, the depiction of Bilbao as a modern rug exemplifies the European rug collection’s achievements in scale, graph, and refinement lending to graceful rugs like this piece. Its versatile, narrow size further offers vast design applications in hallways, entryways, corridors and more.
