Ghiordes / 28309

This Ghiordes antique rug, measuring 9' 11" x 18' 4", presents a quietly weathered field of small-scale geometric and floral motifs within a layered border structure. The composition feels formal yet softened by time, with faded teal, ivory, sand, and coral tones settling into a restrained, luminous surface. Details remain legible in places, then dissolve into airy wear, giving the rug a lived-in depth that is especially compelling. Circa 1880 - 1895, it carries the tonal complexity and measured symmetry associated with the Ghiordes tradition. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
