Ghiordes / 20260

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 3' 3" x 6' 2", presents a layered field of floral and geometric ornament in softened cream, green, white, and muted rose tones. A framed central medallion anchors the composition, while angular border work and repeated blossom forms give the surface a steady rhythm. The wool pile shows medium distress, with visible fading and a gently worn, dry hand that tempers the brighter notes. Circa 1885 - 1910, it carries the hushed complexity and timeworn clarity that define the most engaging old Ghiordes pieces. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
