Ghiordes / 15940

This Ghiordes antique rug, 9' 4" x 12' 6", is rendered in a pale ground of cream and ivory with worn rose, burgundy, and muted gold accents. The composition feels architectural and layered, with dense border fragments framing an open, weathered field and softened floral geometry throughout. Its surface shows medium distress, with abrasion, fading, and repaired losses that add depth without obscuring the design. Circa 1885 - 1920, this wool piece carries the quiet elegance of age, balancing restraint and ornament in a way that feels enduring and tactile.
