Ghiordes / 17517

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 11' 6" x 13' 5" and carries a softened, timeworn presence in wool. The composition balances a dense central field with layered borders, where coral outlines and pale floral forms drift across a faded green-grey ground. The palette of cream, white, muted red, and weathered charcoal reads gently muted, with visible wear that blurs the pattern into a calm, atmospheric whole. Circa 1880 - 1895, it holds the character of an antique rug shaped by age, light, and use, while still preserving the structure of its original design language.
