Ghiordes / 16085

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 249 x 404 cm, presents an allover field of repeating floral forms in red, cream, and neutral tones, set around a quiet central medallion. Slim borders with delicate geometric and floral accents define the edge without interrupting the composition’s steady cadence. The wool pile shows medium distress, with faded colour, visible wear, and a softened surface that lends the piece its aged character. Circa 1885 - 1925, it speaks to the disciplined geometry and layered ornament often seen in Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
