This Ghiordes antique rug measures 147 x 320 cm and unfolds in a narrow, disciplined format with a richly worn sense of age. The wool field is anchored by deep red, then softened by faded blue, ivory, taupe and muted coral across layered borders and floral ornament. A central medallion and angular, stepped motifs create a composed yet relaxed rhythm, while the medium distress brings visible fading and tonal variation. Circa 1900 - 1920, it offers the quiet density and heritage character associated with well-aged wool rugs. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
