Ghiordes / 19653

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 231 x 226 cm and presents a warm, weathered palette of red, cream, white, and muted green. A strong central field is enclosed by a stepped medallion and busy borders of floral and geometric ornament, creating a composition that feels structured yet softened by age. The wool surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and wear that temper the contrast and heighten the rug’s tactile depth. Circa 1850 - 1870, it offers the grounded character and refined patina associated with early 20th-century Ghiordes rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
