This Ghiordes antique rug measures 117 x 175 cm and carries a calm, weathered composition built around a prayer-niche field, enclosed by multiple borders of floral and geometric detail. The palette blends neutral ivory with sage, olive, dusty rose, faded coral, and muted burgundy, creating a low, silvery warmth across the surface. The centre shows notable wear, which deepens the sense of age and lends the design a softened, tactile presence. Circa 1880 - 1915, it reflects the grounded symmetry and faded intricacy that distinguish an antique Ghiordes. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
