Ghiordes / 20260

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 99 x 188 cm, carries a tall, ordered composition in wool, with a central medallion, floral tracery, and crisp border structures softened by age. Cream and green lead the palette, with white, mauve, and burgundy accents emerging through a weathered surface. The drawing remains legible, yet the medium distress, faded tones, and low areas of wear give the piece a quiet, lived-in character. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the balanced geometry and decorative restraint often associated with Ghiordes weaving, while retaining a tender, tactile depth.
