This Ghiordes antique rug measures 107 x 157 cm and presents a graceful tree-of-life composition, with branching stems, stylised leaves, and a narrow floral border that frames the field with restraint. The colour story blends deep red, pink, ivory, and warm neutral tones, with a gently softened surface that speaks to age rather than heaviness. Woven in wool, it has low distress and a tactile, heritage-rich character. Circa 1880 - 1895, the design remains crisp and legible, with an ordered rhythm that gives the rug its composed, historic feel. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
