Ghiordes / 14812

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 6" x 5' 2" and carries a clear tree-of-life layout, with branching stems, geometric leaf forms, and a finely worked floral border. The palette moves between deep red, pink, ivory, and warm neutral tones, giving the surface a softly weathered glow. Woven in wool, it has a grounded, tactile presence and low distress that preserves the clarity of its drawing. Circa 1900 - 1920, the composition feels balanced and lyrical, with repeated motifs that bring rhythm to the field without overwhelming it. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
