Ghiordes / 19245

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 11" x 9' 11" and presents a timeworn field of soft neutrals, red, cream, and traces of muted blue. Its elongated composition is layered with geometric and floral ornament, then enclosed by a lively border that reads with quiet clarity despite the wear. The surface shows medium distress, with faded passages and softened detail that lend the piece a calm, lived-in presence. Circa 1895 - 1910, it reflects the restrained richness and decorative rhythm associated with classic Ghiordes work. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
