Ghiordes / 24608

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 4' 9" x 6' 10" and presents a layered, formal composition softened by time. An ivory ground frames a sequence of borders, while burgundy, green, blue, and black accents animate floral rosettes, stepped ornament, and a compact central medallion. The field carries a measured balance of geometric and botanical detail, with a restrained patina that keeps the drawing clear. Circa 1880 - 1900, it feels grounded and well-resolved, with low distress and a quietly worn surface that supports its depth of color. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
