This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 2" x 6' 2" and presents a mellow, timeworn palette of sage green, ivory, blush, camel, rust, and faded plum. A tall prayer-arch field sits within layered borders, with floral vines, small geometric details, and a narrow upper and lower compartment that add rhythm to the composition. The wool surface shows medium distress and visible fading, lending the piece a quiet, collected character. Circa 1875 - 1900, it carries the softened clarity and decorative restraint that make Ghiordes designs so enduring. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
