Ghiordes / 16476

This Ghiordes antique rug in wool measures 99 x 150 cm and holds a calm, timeworn presence. An open cream field is punctuated by delicate floral sprays, while narrow borders in soft mauve, brown, and faded rose frame the composition with restraint. The colour feels sun-washed and gently muted, with areas of wear that soften the design rather than obscure it. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as a studied example of Ghiordes weaving, balanced between ornament and quiet space, with the patina of age visible in its faded colour and relaxed edges.
