Ghiordes / 17552

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 7' 6" x 13' 3" and carries a deeply faded, time-softened surface in red, blush, and neutral tones. A central medallion remains visible beneath the wear, while floral-geometric corner elements and a narrow border frame the composition with quiet precision. The wool field shows pronounced abrash, scuffing, and areas of low pile that lend the piece its weathered character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as restrained and atmospheric, with a layered patina that highlights both its age and its enduring pattern language. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
