Ghiordes / 16123

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 343 x 498 cm, unfolds in a softened palette of cream, white, muted red and pale grey. A central medallion shapes the field, framed by floral sprays, angular corner motifs and a border that remains clear despite gentle wear. The wool surface has an inviting, timeworn hand, with low distress and faded contrast that deepen the sense of age. Circa 1880 - 1900, it balances ornament and restraint with the calm presence associated with the finest antique rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
