Ghiordes / 19071

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 122 x 152 cm and offers a prayer-form layout with a saturated red field set within warm saffron borders. Slender column motifs support a shaped arch, while the surrounding bands hold floral and vine repeats in ivory, rust, and softened navy. The wool surface shows low distress, with even wear and mellow fading that adds to its grounded, timeworn character. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the composed geometry and decorative layering often sought in a Ghiordes antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
