This Ghiordes antique rug measures 66 x 351 cm and presents a long, slender composition shaped by a central neutral panel and surrounding purple-red fields. Heavy wear has softened the pattern into an almost painterly surface, with faded areas, abrash-like shifts, and visible loss that add to its character. Beige, ivory, rose, and burgundy tones sit together in a restrained palette, giving the rug a weathered, layered presence. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the quiet elegance of age and the visual depth that comes with time. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
