Ghiordes / 24293

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 3' 2" x 4' 9", carries a layered, time-softened composition in cream, sage green, blush, and magenta. Vertical bands structure the field, while floral sprays and small geometric accents emerge and recede through the worn surface. The central area reads almost medallion-like, though age has gently dissolved its edges into the surrounding pattern. Circa 1900 - 1925, it reflects the quiet richness and lived-in character that define a well-aged piece, with medium distress lending the rug a tactile, faded finish and an understated sense of ornament.
