Ghiordes / 12088

Softly faded cream and brown define this Ghiordes, where a central diamond medallion of stylised floral motifs meets stepped spandrels and a multi-band border of rosettes and cartouches. The wool fibre is in low distress, with an even surface and light abrash that suggests age without heavy loss. The restrained palette reads calm and tactile, the composition precise and heritage-aware. This antique rug presents a serene patina and a supple hand, with borders and field retaining clear definition. Circa 1890 - 1910. Measures 117 x 170 cm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
