Ghiordes / 23008

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 84 x 157 cm, and its palette of pink, cream, white, and neutral tones creates a muted, atmospheric surface. The composition centres on a stepped niche, surrounded by floral border panels, repeating medallions, and narrow guard borders that keep the design elegantly contained. The lower field opens into a more graphic, panelled arrangement, giving the rug a layered sense of movement. Circa 1900 - 1915, it shows low distress, with softened colour, light wear, and slightly irregular edges that underline its age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
