This Ghiordes antique rug measures 145 x 208 cm and shows a layered, formal composition softened by time. An ivory ground frames a sequence of borders, while burgundy, green, blue, and black accents animate floral rosettes, stepped ornament, and a compact centre medallion. The field holds a balanced mix of geometric and botanical detail, with a restrained patina that keeps the drawing legible. Circa 1900 - 1925, it feels grounded and well resolved, with low distress and a quietly worn surface that supports its depth of colour. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
