Ghiordes / 19272

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 318 x 444 cm and is defined by a striking red prayer niche, framed by a busy field of geometric blossoms, cartouches, and layered floral borders. The palette turns between crimson, powder blue, ivory, gold, and muted green, creating a rich contrast that is softened by age. Woven in wool, it shows low distress, with even wear and a gently faded surface that lends depth without obscuring the design. Circa 1880 - 1895, this piece reflects the architectural balance and ornamental richness often sought in a historic Ghiordes.
