This Ghiordes antique rug, 7' 7" x 13' 5", presents an allover field of repeating floral forms and angular vine tracery in red, cream, white, and muted gold. The composition feels orderly yet lively, with the design settling into a softened rhythm across the length of the piece. Low distress and gentle wear lend the surface a calm, timeworn hand, while the faded red ground gives depth to the lighter motifs. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the quiet confidence and decorative clarity that define a well-preserved antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
