This Ghiordes antique rug measures 102 x 157 cm and presents a composed field of vertical stripes, delicate floral traces, and a softened geometric border. Woven in wool, it holds a faded palette of muted red, cream, neutral beige, and gentle green, creating a calm surface with evident age and character. The pattern remains legible, though well worn, with the high distress lending a patina that feels balanced and honest. Circa 1850 - 1870, it offers the layered, quietly faded presence that defines a rug shaped over time. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
