Ghiordes / 16356

This Ghiordes antique rug in wool measures 109 x 178 cm and presents a mellow palette of cream, red, blush, and muted taupe. Its layered medallion arrangement is framed by detailed borders and softened corner ornament, while the open ground lets the faded drawing breathe across the surface. Medium distress is visible in the worn pile, reduced contrast, and irregular edges, all of which reinforce its age and character. Circa 1885 - 1900, this is a quietly expressive example of antique Ghiordes design, shaped by wear and a warm, diffused finish.
