Ghiordes / 19075

This Ghiordes antique rug in wool measures 5' 0" x 8' 10" and presents a softly faded prayer composition with a grounded, timeworn palette of cream, white, and red. The central field holds a bold niche form framed by layered geometric ornament, while the borders carry repeating floral and lozenge motifs that remain legible despite the wear. Circa 1850 - 1870, it has a calm, seasoned presence, with medium distress that mellows the contrast and gives the surface a quiet, tactile depth. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
