This Ghiordes antique rug measures 17' 0" x 22' 8" and presents a spacious field of repeating floral sprays set against a softened sage ground. The composition is anchored by multiple borders, including a vivid red main border with rhythmic geometric detailing and smaller guard bands that add structure. Woven in wool, it carries a calm, time-worn surface with low distress and a graceful, lived-in patina. The palette of red, white, cream, and muted coral reads with quiet warmth across the field. Circa 1865 - 1880, it reflects the disciplined ornament and refined clarity associated with the Ghiordes tradition.
