This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 4" x 6' 3" and presents a richly layered prayer-field composition with a saturated red ground, softened by white, cream, neutral, muted teal, and gold accents. The field is framed by an intricate border of medallions, rosettes, and striped segments, creating a dense, rhythmic structure around the central niche. Wear is low overall, yet the surface shows gentle fading and a relaxed, timeworn hand. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the visual depth and quiet irregularity that give an antique rug its character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
