Ghiordes / 17908

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 6" x 5' 1" and presents a layered prayer-form composition in wool, with a faded sky blue field framed by magenta, cream, olive, and burgundy. The drawing is anchored by geometric medallion and tree-like motifs, then held within multiple borders that add rhythm without overpowering the field. Areas of wear have softened the contrast and given the surface a hushed, timeworn quality. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the calm irregularities and visual depth that define a well-kept antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
