About the Item
Antique Turkish Ghiordes Rug
Size: 12'9" × 17'8" (388 × 538 cm)
Step into a world of quiet grandeur with this exquisite 19th-century Turkish Ghiordes rug, woven circa 1880. Characterized by its refined botanical motifs and a serene, earthy palette, this carpet is a remarkable example of the artistry and subtlety of Anatolian textile traditions.
The rug’s expansive field is adorned with a meticulous allover herati-like pattern composed of small, stylized floral motifs, delicately scattered across a warm terra-cotta ground. These soft, rhythmic elements lend the piece a sense of organic harmony, enhanced by the muted contrast of ivory, soft brown, taupe, and charcoal accents.
At the heart of the composition lies a single elegant medallion, rendered in ivory and outlined with a jagged geometric motif. It anchors the composition, drawing the eye without disrupting the overall unity of the field.
Framing the central panel is a series of complex, multiband borders. The main border features a rich sequence of stylized rosettes and abstract palmettes, flanked by guard bands with geometric fretwork and zigzag motifs. These frames, in tones of parchment, rust, sand, and faded olive, subtly mirror and balance the hues of the central field.
Woven using high-quality wool with a tight, symmetrical (Ghiordes) knot—named after the region—the rug demonstrates a remarkable durability and finely articulated design. The texture is soft yet substantial, bearing the patina of time with dignity and grace.
Gently worn with visible age-related distressing and a faded patina that only enhances its antique charm, this rug retains its structural integrity while exuding an authentic, lived-in beauty. Slight abrash and natural variation in dye only emphasize the handmade nature of this heirloom textile.
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.
