Ghiordes / 19653

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 7' 7" x 7' 5" and carries a softened, timeworn palette of red, cream, white, and muted green. A deep central field anchors the composition, framed by a stepped medallion and layered borders filled with floral and geometric motifs. The surface shows medium distress, with visible fading and worn areas that lend the piece a dry, tactile presence. Circa 1850 - 1870, it reflects the balanced formality and subtle irregularity that give older Ghiordes rugs their enduring character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
