Ghiordes / 16470

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 122 x 175 cm and is woven in wool with a composed, architectural layout. A light ground is enclosed by layered borders in navy, rust, cream, and brown, while the field brings together stepped forms, narrow striped panels, and small repeating motifs. The overall effect is balanced and gently worn, with softened contrast and an aged surface that lends depth to the design. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the quiet character of an antique rug, with tonal restraint, visible patina, and a disciplined geometric rhythm.
