About the Item
Early 20th-Century Turkish Ghiordes Rug
Size: 10'3" × 10'9" (312 × 327 cm)
Color: brown, red.
This impressive Ghiordes carpet features a softly muted palette of mushroom-beige and taupe as its primary field color, accented by tones of rusty-red, soft coral, warm brown, and whisper-gray. The faded hues suggest age, generous use, and the charm of vintage authenticity.
The rug displays the traditional Ghiordes aesthetic—delicately versus densely drawn—and is organized in a near-abstract allover pattern rather than a centralized medallion layout. Meandering vines, stylized rosettes, geometrically abstracted blossoms, and articulated leafy sprays populate the field. The ornaments are free-form yet incredibly well balanced, flowing across the field with subtle and assured rhythm.
The design is encased by a moderate inner guard border in earthy brown-red, highlighting repeating angular leaf motifs. This is followed by a broader outer guard and main border band featuring elongated leafy palmettes and abstract botanical crests, adding a structural frame that harmonizes with the looser internal design.
The pile is plush and velvety, worn to an elegant, supple finish. This mellowing not only enhances its tactile appeal but also underscores the rug’s history and character. Wear is consistent and even across the surface, giving it a lived-in grace rather than distressed damage.
With its neutral yet character-rich palette and gracefully fading pattern, this rug is ideal for grounding contemporary or vintage-inspired interiors. It offers warmth and visual texture without overwhelming, and its unusual allover design adds thoughtful layering—perfect under a coffee table, at the foot of a bed, or as a conversational centerpiece.
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.
