Ghiordes / 16470

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 0" x 5' 9" and presents a layered, architectural composition in wool. A pale ground is framed by nested borders in navy, rust, cream, and brown, while the field is organized with stepped forms, narrow striped panels, and small geometric repeats. The drawing is restrained yet intricate, with softened edges and visible wear that temper the pattern’s symmetry. Circa 1895 - 1925, it carries the quiet patina and tonal variation that come with age, creating a grounded presence through its neutral palette and timeworn surface.
