Ghiordes / 15356

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 391 x 549 cm, pairs a pale cream field with red, neutral and white ornament in a composition that feels both structured and softly faded. The border holds scrolling floral detail, while the centre is anchored by a worn medallion and scattered blossom motifs. Its wool surface shows low distress and an evenly aged patina, with softened colour and a calm, lived-in texture throughout. The result is a rug with warmth, restraint and depth, where the drawing remains legible despite its gentle wear. Circa 1875 - 1890.
