This Ghiordes antique rug measures 104 x 193 cm and offers a vertical sequence of floral and geometric bands in cream, brown, muted red, sage, and pale yellow. The striped layout creates a calm, ordered surface, while the repeating motifs bring depth and variation from one column to the next. Medium wear has softened the tones and given the rug a gentle, lived-in character, with an even patina across the field. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the quiet richness and tactile age associated with an antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
