Ghiordes / 21049

This Ghiordes antique rug, 89 x 152 cm, is woven in wool with a deep red ground lifted by muted teal, cream, and warm yellow detailing. The composition centres on a faded medallion, framed by floral borders, slim guard stripes, and small geometric motifs that remain legible through the rug’s aged surface. Medium distress softens the contrast across the field, creating an even, timeworn character with visible patina and gentle abrasion. Circa 1880 - 1900, it offers a grounded expression of the Ghiordes tradition, where pattern, colour, and wear settle into a measured whole.
