Ghiordes / 23346

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 1" x 6' 0", with a restrained yet expressive prayer-niche composition framed by layered floral borders. A worn red field anchors the design, while sand, ivory, sky blue, brown, and charcoal details soften into a gently faded surface. The stepped arch and repeating border motifs give the piece its balanced structure, even as visible age lends depth and texture. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the quiet irregularities and softened contrast that define a well-loved antique rug, with a patina that feels both timeworn and composed.
