About the Item
Hand knotted in wool and originating from Turkey circa 1880-1890, this 3x5 antique rug hails from the Ghiordes region of former Anatolia—renowned among classic and traditional rug families for a history of craftsmanship
On the Design:
More than a rug, this antique Ghiordes textile is a fragment of history, best appreciated hung upon a wall where its intimate scale and woven narrative can be truly seen. Its beauty lies not in factory finish, but in the honorable grace of being genuinely worn by time and life, lending it an authenticity that artificial distressing can never capture.
Hand-knotted with resilient wool, the central field features a strong vertical stack of stylized diamond motifs, which appear to dissolve and re-form across the mottled field of rose, amethyst, and deep ruby. The intricate design, characteristic of the Ghiordes region, speaks a language of tribal symbolism and prayer, anchored by a powerful central medallion rendered in sapphire and forest teal.
Framed by borders of complex folk iconography and finished with organically ragged edges, the piece possesses the compelling, raw elegance of a beloved heirloom. It is a stunning artifact that offers not just color and pattern, but the tangible soul of a centuries-old craft. Perfect for the collector seeking a piece with an unmistakable narrative and a depth of character only achieved through time.
