Ghiordes / 11479

This Ghiordes wool rug measures 10' 0" x 13' 11" and reads as a tactile field of repeating boteh-like medallions set on a warm cream ground, framed by layered red and neutral borders. The colour balance favors saturated red with cream and white highlights; the wool shows low, even wear that preserves motif clarity and surface texture. Age has softened the drawing and introduced a gentle abrash that reads as quiet craft. As an antique rug it holds a considered presence and domestic warmth. Circa 1885 - 1925. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
