Ghiordes / 24554

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 9' 9" x 13' 1", with a softly faded ivory and cream ground touched by plum, blush, pale gold, and traces of charcoal. The composition centers on a worn medallion form, surrounded by an all-over field of small floral and geometric motifs and framed by a layered border that remains readable despite the heavy wear. Circa 1900 - 1930, its distressed surface lends the piece a quiet, time-softened presence, where pattern and erosion sit in balance. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
