This Ghiordes antique rug measures 102 x 190 cm and carries a prayer-field layout with a deep red ground, lifted by white, cream, neutral, muted teal, and gold details. A layered border of medallions, rosettes, and striped passages encloses the central field, giving the composition a busy, textural cadence. The piece shows low distress, with softened pile and visible fading that settles the palette into a more muted register. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as an antique rug with age, structure, and a restrained sense of movement. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
