Ghiordes / 18850

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 147 x 282 cm and presents a time-softened arrangement of layered geometry, floral detail, and a clearly defined border framework. The field carries worn medallion-like forms and compartmentalised ornament, with faded rose, bone, taupe, grey, and muted gold lending the surface a quiet, weathered depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, the medium distress is visible in the softened outlines and overall fade, which enhance its aged character rather than diminish it. Woven in wool, it holds the balanced austerity and decorative complexity that make Ghiordes rugs so distinctive.
