Ghiordes / 24220

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 4" x 4' 2" and presents a vertical rhythm of zigzag bands, slim stripes, and petite floral details. The palette moves between cream, beige, muted rose, burgundy, olive, and purple, creating a layered surface with a quietly faded glow. Areas of abrash and wear soften the drawing, while the low distress keeps the composition legible and balanced. Circa 1885 - 1900, it carries the patina and restraint that give this format its lasting appeal, with pattern and colour sitting close to the cloth and feeling gently weathered rather than heavy.
