Ghiordes / 16085

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 8' 2" x 13' 3", carries a layered field of repeated floral forms in red, cream, and warm neutral tones. A restrained central medallion anchors the composition, while narrow borders with small geometric and floral details frame the design with balance and rhythm. The wool surface shows medium distress, with softened colour, visible wear, and a gently timeworn hand that deepens its presence. Circa 1885 - 1925, it reflects the formal symmetry and tactile warmth associated with Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
