Ghiordes / 16356

This Ghiordes antique rug in wool measures 3' 7" x 5' 10" and carries a softened field of cream, red, blush, and muted taupe. A layered medallion structure sits within a finely bordered frame, while fragmented floral and geometric details drift into the worn ground with a calm, timeworn rhythm. The surface shows medium distress, gentle fading, and edge irregularities that add character without obscuring the composition. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reflects the restrained elegance and lived-in patina associated with antique Ghiordes weaving. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
