Ghiordes / 18665

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 127 x 188 cm and presents a mellow, timeworn palette of sage green, ivory, blush, camel, rust, and faded plum. A tall prayer-arch field sits within layered borders, with floral vines, small geometric details, and a narrow upper and lower compartment that lend balance to the composition. The wool surface shows medium distress and visible fading, giving the piece a calm, worn-in presence. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the refined symmetry and softened detail often associated with Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
