Ghiordes / 11469

A Ghiordes wool piece with a deep red ground set against cream and neutral accents, its elongated, serrated medallion and geometric palmettes forming a measured, repeating field. The motif language is floral and abstracted, framed by successive guard borders that provide a clear, disciplined edge. Low distress and soft abrash lend a gentle, even wornness to the pile; edges remain tidy with short fringe. The woollen surface retains a tactile, heritage-aware presence and a reassuring clarity of pattern. This antique rug carries quiet craft and age. Circa 1880 - 1900. Size: 130 x 239 cm.
