Ghiordes / 18999

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 130 x 213 cm and carries a quietly aged palette of ivory, indigo, faded blue, and muted terracotta. The composition is organised around a central prayer field in deep blue, set within layered borders and a surrounding expanse of delicate geometric and floral ornament. Its surface shows gentle fading that softens the outlines and lends the design a settled, atmospheric quality. Circa 1860 - 1875, this wool Ghiordes balances formal structure with a richly worn, decorative hand, offering the kind of subtle variation and heritage character that rewards close looking.
