Ghiordes / 13929

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 518 x 691 cm and unfolds across a generous field of repeating floral sprays on a softened sage ground. The layout is held by several borders, including a strong red main border with geometric rhythm and narrow guard bands that lend definition. Woven in wool, it shows a lightly worn, settled surface with low distress and subtly irregular edges that speak to age. The palette of red, white, cream, and muted coral sits softly against the field, creating a composed, heritage-rich presence. Circa 1865 - 1880, it captures the clarity and ornamental balance long associated with the Ghiordes tradition.
