This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 12' 10" x 18' 0", presents a softly worn field of cream and neutral tones framed by deep red borders. A layered floral composition unfolds around a faded central medallion, with small blossoms and scrolling ornament dispersed across the surface. The palette has mellowed beautifully, allowing the reds to sit beside white and cream with a quiet, time-softened balance. Woven in wool, it carries the gentle abrasion and reduced contrast of age without losing its decorative clarity. Circa 1890 - 1910. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
