Ghiordes / 31052

This Ghiordes antique rug measures 8' 9" x 12' 2" and carries a washed, architectural presence through its faded cream ground and muted red patterning. Layered floral forms and medallion remnants emerge and recede across the field, while the border holds the composition with quieter geometric detail. The surface shows high distress, with softened contrast, worn passages, and a timeworn hand that reads as airy rather than heavy. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reflects the restrained elegance and patina that define an antique rug with depth and character. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
