This Ghiordes antique rug measures 12' 1" x 16' 7" and carries a quiet, timeworn clarity across its broad field. A deep burgundy medallion anchors the composition, while pale sage, ivory, soft blue, and muted green soften the surrounding layers of floral and vine detail. The borders read as a sequence of worn, decorative bands, framing the field with balance rather than rigidity. Circa 1900 - 1935, its medium distress and faded contrast create a beautifully settled surface, where the original pattern remains legible yet gently atmospheric. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
