About the Item
19th century Turkish Ghiordes light brown handwoven wool rug
Size: 11'1" × 16'7" (337 × 505 cm)
This stunning antique Ghiordes rug, dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880s), exemplifies the classic Turkish weaving tradition with exceptional craftsmanship and a timeless design.
The rug features a traditional central medallion field with a soft, warm beige ground. The medallion is surrounded by a detailed geometric lattice filled with stylized floral and vine motifs typical of Ghiordes designs. The field is punctuated with delicate, abstract floral and foliate elements that create a balanced and harmonious visual rhythm.
The border system consists of multiple bands: a wide main border showcasing intricate floral and vine patterns, flanked by narrower guard borders with complementary geometric detailing. The motifs in the borders echo the natural elements found in the central field, contributing to an overall cohesive design.
The palette is warm and earthy, dominated by soft beiges, creams, and muted browns. There are subtle accents of rust and faded yellow, lending the rug an antique patina and depth. The natural dyes have aged beautifully, giving the rug a soft, muted appearance that enhances its vintage charm.
Handwoven using high-quality wool, the rug has a medium to dense knotting, characteristic of Ghiordes craftsmanship, providing durability and a plush texture. The wool pile shows a natural sheen and softness, indicating its premium quality. The rug is in excellent condition considering its age, with gentle wear consistent with its provenance, adding character without compromising the integrity of the weave.
Originating from the Ghiordes region in Anatolia, this rug is an authentic example of traditional Turkish weaving techniques. Ghiordes rugs are renowned for their symmetrical knotting and strong construction, and this piece embodies those qualities with exquisite detail and a classic composition.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
