Ghiordes / 18904

This Ghiordes antique rug, 109 x 152 cm, pairs a deep navy centre with a floral tree motif and stepped geometric borders that give the whole composition a measured, enclosed feel. Faded red, ivory, camel, pale blue, and soft grey details sit across a time-softened wool surface, bringing warmth to the sharper linear patterning. The medium distress is visible in the mellowed colour, worn character, and slightly irregular edges. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the restrained elegance and tactile age of a well-kept historic Ghiordes wool rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
