Ghiordes / 16503

This Ghiordes antique rug, 3' 7" x 6' 2", pairs a soft cream field with a vivid crimson centre and restrained floral detailing. The composition feels open and architectural, with a tall medallion-like form anchored by angular border work and small scatter motifs that temper the structure. Wool pile wear and visible fading have softened the contrast, lending the surface a quiet, timeworn patina. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the balanced formality and nuanced colouration that define this woven tradition, while preserving a distinctly lived-in presence. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
