This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 145 x 287 cm, carries a long, prayer-form layout with an elongated central medallion and finely worked borders. The palette balances dusty rose, pale blue, cream, brown, and faded gold, creating a softened contrast that feels calm and lived with. Floral sprays, scrolling vine motifs, and narrow guard bands frame the composition, while the field retains a gentle, timeworn fade. Low distress and edge wear add to its character without disturbing the design. Circa 1880 - 1895, it offers an elegant, heritage-led presence with a distinctly aged surface.
