Ghiordes / 21923

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 4" x 6' 4" and carries the quiet formality of a prayer composition softened by time. A deep blue field anchors the center, framed by cream and neutral borders, with delicate foliate and geometric accents in white and muted red. The surface shows medium wear, creating a beautifully lived-in texture and a gentle fading that tempers the contrast. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the restrained elegance and layered ornament associated with classic Ghiordes design, while remaining visually calm and tactile. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
