Ghiordes / 18928

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 140 x 292 cm and carries a long, poised composition in faded rose, cream, and brown, softened by years of gentle wear. The field is organised around an elongated central medallion, with floral motifs stepping through the interior and into a framework of multiple narrow borders. Wool texture and medium distress give the surface a muted, tactile depth, while the worn palette lends the whole piece a calm, layered presence. Circa 1850 - 1870, it reflects the restrained elegance and decorative clarity associated with Ghiordes weaving.
