Ghiordes / 14591

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 5' 10" x 10' 4" and carries a richly layered field of deep red, cream, and white. A stepped mihrab form anchors the composition, while floral clusters, geometric accents, and densely patterned borders create a framed, architectural presence. The wool surface shows low distress with softened wear that lends depth without obscuring the drawing. Circa 1880 - 1900, the piece balances ornament and restraint, with warm neutral notes woven through the saturated palette for a grounded finish. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
