Ghiordes / 24294

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 3' 6" x 4' 11" and carries the quiet authority of a prayer-form composition softened by time. A deep purple field anchors stepped arch motifs, while cream, white, and neutral borders gather small floral and geometric details into a layered frame. Accents of muted orange and faded green add depth without disturbing the rug’s balanced palette. The surface shows gentle wear, fringe loss, and irregular edges that contribute to its lived-in character. Circa 1880 - 1900, it reads as both structured and weathered, with a restrained elegance that reflects the Ghiordes tradition.
