On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate this very special antique rug from the late 19th century for being not only an exceptional find from one of the most special provenances, but a rarity to find an all over Ghiordes rug of such versatile size, scale, and love in its every inch. Keen eyes will admire the border with intricate vine scrolls and the field with stripes of bright, colorful floral patterns, with an impressive range of hues. The engaging play of the beige-brown, red and gold among other tones is complemented by the regal sense of movement and depth few pieces of this size boast. This is a bold, personal antique piece; a piece of weaving history most likely from a special workshop with a deep reverence for the charm of geometric rugs—this being one of the most graceful we’ve seen.

Condition:

This antique Ghiordes rug enjoys good condition with some mild but consistent wear visible throughout the field and border, keeping with its age and origins. See less
