Ghiordes / 16171

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 9' 0" x 11' 3", balances a softened red border with a pale, time-worn field and a central hexagonal medallion in muted olive and red. Floral and geometric details drift across the surface, giving the composition a layered, textural clarity that feels both formal and gently worn. The wool pile shows medium distress, with visible fading and edge character that deepen its antique presence. Circa 1880 - 1915, it carries the restrained elegance and graphic structure associated with classic Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
