This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 3' 4" x 5' 0", carries a vertical rhythm of zigzag bands, small floral motifs, and narrow striped divisions across a ground of burgundy, sage, teal, cream, and warm gold. The palette feels muted yet layered, with visible fading that softens the contrast and gives the surface an aged, tactile presence. Circa 1900 - 1930, it reads with the quiet clarity of a well-kept antique rug, balancing pattern and colour in a composition that feels both ordered and deeply lived-in. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
