This Ghiordes antique rug measures 160 x 325 cm and has a layered, timeworn character in wool. A central field of burgundy and teal geometry sits within multiple borders of floral and angular motifs, all softened by a luminous ground of cream and white. The colour palette is restrained yet rich, with muted purple accents and visible fading that adds depth to the design. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the balance of ornament and wear that gives an antique rug its quiet complexity, with a gently abraded surface and a composed, elongated format.
