Ghiordes / 23021

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 2' 10" x 9' 11" and carries a long, narrow format with a quietly weathered presence. A deep burgundy border frames small floral and geometric motifs in ivory, indigo, and faded blue, while the field is softened by vertical striations and time-worn abrash. The composition feels disciplined yet atmospheric, with the worn centre allowing the pattern to read in layers rather than at full contrast. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reflects the grounded elegance often associated with Ghiordes weaving, where ornament and restraint sit in careful balance.
