This Ghiordes antique rug, 269 x 305 cm, carries a gently worn field of small floral and geometric motifs framed by a layered border arrangement. Wool lends the surface a soft, tactile character, while cream, neutral and muted red tones shape a quiet, heritage-led palette. The composition feels airy yet ordered, with softened contrast and visible age that enhances its understated presence. Circa 1875 - 1890, it shows the refined balance and decorative restraint associated with Ghiordes weaving, alongside the kind of wear that gives an antique rug its depth, warmth and character.
