Ghiordes / 20695

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 0" x 6' 8" and carries a richly layered composition in worn red, brown, ivory, and pale blue. A formal floral border frames the field, while the interior unfolds in angular, architectural passages that feel both intricate and open, with the surface softened by time. The wool pile shows low distress and a lived-in hand, allowing the design to read with clarity without losing its age. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reflects the restrained character and decorative rhythm that make Ghiordes rugs so enduring.
