Ghiordes / 24217

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 5" x 12' 1" and presents a vivid magenta field balanced by cream, white, teal, and sage accents. A tall, architectural composition centres hanging lamp motifs, vertical lattice bands, and a floral border that keeps the long form visually buoyant. The palette has softened with age, allowing the pattern to read with restraint and depth. Circa 1900 - 1920, it carries the quiet patina and low distress that give the piece its grounded character without diminishing the clarity of its design. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
