This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 302 x 559 cm, shows a refined field of small geometric and floral motifs framed by a structured border and quieter interior compartments. The palette is gently worn, with ivory, faded teal, sand, muted rose, and coral diffused across the surface, creating a calm, aged presence. The design reads clearly in some areas and softens in others, lending the rug a layered, tactile character. Circa 1880 - 1895, it reflects the balanced ornament and timeworn atmosphere long associated with Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
