This Ghiordes antique rug measures 297 x 399 cm, with an ivory and cream ground lifted by plum, blush, pale gold, and discreet charcoal accents. A softened central medallion anchors the design, while the surrounding field carries small floral and geometric motifs within a well-framed border that has faded into the overall surface. Circa 1900 - 1930, the high distress reveals a gently worn, atmospheric finish, with age visible in the muted colour and softened outlines of the pattern. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
