Ghiordes / 15362

This Ghiordes antique rug, 231 x 409 cm, shows a richly layered allover pattern of floral motifs, angular vine lines, and small repeating elements worked across a deep red ground. Cream, white, and muted gold accents lift the surface, creating contrast without interrupting the rug’s steady visual flow. Its low distress, softened pile, and age-worn edges contribute to a gentle, lived-in character. Circa 1880 - 1900, this example reflects the balanced ornament and tactile patina often associated with Ghiordes weaving, brought forward here in a long, composed format. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
