Ghiordes / 22704

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 142 x 239 cm and offers a timeworn prayer-niche design with a distinctly layered presence. The central field holds a rich rose ground, softened by aqua, mint, ivory, and sand notes, while floral borders and narrow geometric bands build a measured frame around it. Visible wear, fading, and surface abrasion temper the brighter tones and give the composition a relaxed, heritage-led character. Circa 1900 - 1915, this piece reflects the graphic clarity and floral density often associated with the Ghiordes tradition, with a palette that has mellowed gracefully over time.
