Ghiordes / 12088

Rendered in a quiet cream field warmed by soft brown accents, this Ghiordes reads as a study in restraint and craft. A central diamond medallion of stylised floral forms is counterbalanced by angular spandrels and a layered border of small rosettes and cartouches. The wool pile shows low distress and a smooth surface; subtle abrash and gentle fade lend depth without loss of detail. The composition feels measured and tactile, an antique rug that carries a calm, archival presence. Circa 1895 - 1915. Measures 3' 10" x 5' 7". The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
