Ghiordes / 21049

This Ghiordes antique rug, 2' 11" x 5' 0", carries a richly faded red field with muted teal, cream, and warm yellow accents. A restrained central medallion sits within a layered composition of narrow floral borders, vertical guard stripes, and small geometric details that read with quiet clarity despite the softened surface. The wool pile shows medium distress, with broad areas of wear and patina that give the design a washed, atmospheric quality. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the enduring balance of ornament and restraint associated with the Ghiordes tradition.
