Ghiordes / 17146

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 0" x 6' 0" and carries the quiet authority of a design shaped by age and use. A cream field is filled with a dense, rhythmic lattice, held by a stepped medallion and framed by angular floral borders in red, white, and grounded grey. The surface shows medium distress, with softened colour and subtle abrash that deepen the texture of the weave. Circa 1900 - 1925, it balances structure and openness with the familiar clarity of a classic Ghiordes composition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
