Ghiordes / 21418

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 61 x 91 cm and shows a compact field of repeated zigzag bands, worked in muted rose, taupe, olive, and brown. The horizontal stripes and small floral accents give the composition a measured cadence, while the worn wool surface adds softness and visual depth. Its medium distress is visible in the gentle fading and uneven texture, which enhance rather than diminish the design. Circa 1880 - 1895, it offers the calm, handworn presence of an antique rug with a clear decorative rhythm. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
