This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 9" x 5' 8" and presents a finely weathered striped composition in cream, ivory, muted magenta, dusty rose, and warm ochre. Alternating vertical bands carry zigzag stems, small floral devices, and geometric repeats, creating a quiet sense of movement across the field. The surface shows medium wear with softened contrast and a washed patina that lends depth to the palette. Circa 1885 - 1900, it reads as both structured and relaxed, with the kind of age that keeps the pattern legible while giving the rug its lived-in character.
