Ghiordes / 24243

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 99 x 312 cm and shows a rhythmic arrangement of octagonal floral forms, angular vinework, and a serpentine central band that divides the field with grace. The red ground is tempered by white, cream, and purple accents, creating a nuanced palette with warmth and restraint. Circa 1885 - 1900, the surface shows low distress, gentle fading, and areas of abrash that add movement across the pile. As an antique rug, it holds a balanced, heritage-led composition with softened edges and a distinctly weathered elegance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
